The Internet
The Internet 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.
It is the collection (network) of computers that are set up to
exchange text, graphics, videos, 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.
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
and its customers |
