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 |
