avalanche of paperwork like purchase
orders, invoices, confirmation notice etc.

E-commerce today

The Internet is the perfect vehicle for ecommerce because of its open standards
and structure.
No other methodology or technology has
proven to work as well as the Internet for
distributing information and bringing
people together.
Its cheap and relatively easy to use it as a
medium for connecting customers,
suppliers, and employees of a firm.

The Internet allows big businesses to act

like small ones and small businesses to
act big.
The challenge to businesses is to make
transactions not just cheaper and easier
for themselves but also easier and more
convenient for customers and suppliers
