E-BUSINESS

E-Business is a broad term encompassing a wide range of applications covering virtually every type of business and every functional area.

An E-Business system brings your business into the offices, factories or homes of your customers.

E-Business systems include e-commerce, on-line applications for financial, investment and insurance products, customer service functions, supply chain management, purchasing, human resources, and most other business processes.

Our e-business offerings cover an important part of this vast landscape: customer facing systems that help our clients add customers and sell more to those they already have. These key applications require:

• A flexible, intuitive user interface.
• An ability to easily access and manipulate data to satisfy unpredictable customer requests.
• The flexibility to adapt quickly and easily to changes in the way you do business.
• A highly configurable interface to your other data processing systems.
• Security and access controls.

Modular systems:
Marrying unique and standard functionality

Nearly every e-business application involves common functions that only vary in minor ways from system to system, as well as functions unique to that individual system.

Virtually everything we do is built with a modular and easily configurable architecture. Unique functions are implemented through custom modules developed to the client�s specifications, which are then integrated with our standard application infrastructure to create a complete system. The result is a decided blurring between custom and off the shelf systems, allowing us to implement complex, proprietary systems quickly and easily, in an exceptionally cost effective manner.

Integrated marketing, sales and web content management

E-business applications offer you a direct presence in the offices, factories and living rooms of current and prospective customers, which creates an important opportunity to interact more closely with the people who matter most to your business. Our unique, modular system architecture allows us to tightly integrate our marketing, sales and web content management capabilities directly into your e-business system, rather than through a cumbersome interface.

Some of our more popular e-business application modules are highlighted in the pages of this section, with the exception of e-commerce, which is featured in its own section.
