Topic:
Mass Integration and the Emergence of
Online Business Collaboration
Abstract:
Online collaboration between trading partners will emerge as the common thread
that defines successful business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce initiatives. The
first generation of online commerce centered on static catalogs and transaction
engines. While this continues to serve its purpose in the consumer markets, it
does not properly foster online commerce between enterprises. Instead, real-time
collaboration from product design to product fulfillment willbe necessary for
online business commerce to achieve widespread market adoption. Additionally,
there is a re-evaluation occurring regarding how enterprises conduct business
online.
This second generation of B2B e-commerce is called Online Business Collaboration.
In this presentation, Harrington will explore the opportunities and challenges
presented by mass integration technologies, and end user requirements for tightly
coupled information systems in the extended supply chain.
Who Should Attend:
- All members who feel the challenge of our times
- E-commerce strategists and practitioners
- General management
- Sales and marketing management
- Customer support management
- Operations management
- Business owners
- IT managers and staff personnel
- Web site users, owners, and support personnel
