The Internet is no longer just a communication tool. It now
offers services and solutions that can provide a competitive edge to any
business that knows how to harness them. But due to frequent changes,
technical jargon, and lack of publicity, decision makers are unable to make
the right decision at the right time. Here's your chance to get acquainted
with some critical areas in which the Internet can be your business ally, and
your competition's.
The Internet has transcended all boundaries and everyone is using it in one
way or another. The sophistication of usage may vary as a result of several
factors: the psyche of the community, the availability of the infrastructure,
level of awareness, etc. Using the Internet for e-mail and web browsing is
like availing yourself of a few drops from the ocean of possibilities. The
Internet can help your business to achieve much more than what it otherwise
can.
E-Business is a business approach in which some or all of the
sales and customer support processes are managed electronically, usually via
the Internet. Email Server - A server that manages email communications. An
email server accepts and manages incoming mail, and stores and forwards
outgoing mail. Enterprise Management - Management of the total heterogeneous
network. Ethernet - The most widely used local area networking (LAN)
technology, also referred to as 10/100 Ethernet. Ethernet transmits
information between computers at speeds of 10 and 100 million bits per second
(Mbps). Extranet - A private network that uses Internet infrastructure to
connect a business securely with outside customers and business partners.
Firewalls and encryption technology "privatise" a slice of the public network
to allow companies to exchange data confidentially.
