Advantages of the business on the internet

Background
“The Internet” has become one of the hottest buzzwords in companies of all sizes, in
countries around the world. You have been told that you have to “Move your company to
the ‘Net” to keep from getting left behind. Is that true? And what does it mean? Just what is “The Internet” really; how do I move my company there; and how does that help me make more money?

Let’s take a look at some possible answers to those questions as they pertain to your
business.
The Internet
In the strictest sense of the word, the Internet is a network of networks. It is a linking of
millions of computers, around the world, into one vast collection of information. It had its
origins in academia and the US federal government, but has become more of a business
tool in the last few years with the development of the World Wide Web.
The World Wide Web (or the Web for short) is a part of the Internet. It is not the same
thing AS the Internet. The Web is the collection (network) of computers that are set up to
exchange text, graphics, and sound files in a particular style that is easier for most people
to deal with.
How do I “Move My Company To The Internet”?
Well, you don’t really MOVE anything. This expression means to equip the people in
your company to utilize the Internet’s capabilities as a data storage and as a
communications medium. By using these capabilities, your people become more efficient
and more productive, and the company becomes more profitable.
Is it True? Do I Have to Move to the Internet ?
The short answer is “No.” You don’t have to move to the Internet to survive in business.
However, and with the clear understanding that I am a strong proponent of the Internet as
a business tool, you have a greater chance to prosper if you do.
Why Move to the Internet ?
If your only reason for moving to the Internet is because “everybody” says you have to,
don’t do it. In order for your company to successfully move to the Internet, you have to
have a solid business purpose for making the investment.
However, there are several compelling reasons why you should evaluate moving to the
Internet. Properly applied as a business tool, the Internet has the capability to:
• Make your employees more productive
• Reduce your cost of doing business
• Increase your competitive advantage
• Improve communications between your company and its suppliers
• Improve communications between your company and its customers
