eBusiness is the new business model of the 21st century - and it is built around convergent technologies, business practices, and the planet`s largest communications network, the Internet. Any business that hopes to survive - and thrive - in the new millenium must have an e-business strategy to evolve and harness the power of the Internet to create and capitalise on new business opportunities.
To enable business professionals to obtain the full impact and overview of the new "e" economy, the e.com Institute is hosting a one-day, action-packed conference on 4 April 2000 at Vodaworld, Midrand. It`s an occasion that CEOs, managing directors, business strategists, marketing and financial directors, and anybody else involved in the exciting world of ebusiness cannot afford to miss.
"The Internet is impacting every industry today and senior business management need to be in a position where they can make informed decisions before committing resources to Internet projects. E-Business 2000 is an ideal opportunity for decision makers to get an overall view of the world of e-business, listen to international case studies and meet with some of the industry leaders and discuss their business needs. The fact that this can all be achieved in one day without flying overseas or costing a small fortune is a bonus" said John Berry, Joint Managing Director of e.com institute who are organizing the conference.
The agenda includes international case studies that can be specifically applied to today`s developing ebusinesses:
eBusiness - how to develop an inclusive strategy
e-Procurement - the killer app of B-B ecommerce
e-CRM - keeping customers happy online
Supply chain management - the real issue behind B-B ecommerce
e-Security - how to secure your network, now that you have opened it on the Internet.
Local, as well as international guest speakers will address delegates on e-business trends and strategies.
The conference will kick off when John Berry, joint managing director, introduces Colin Purkis from Intel SA who will inform delegates on the world of e-business and best practises.
Electronic customer relationship management is hot on everyone`s lips. David Loveday, Vice-president EMEA of Kana Communications UK will talk about e.CRM and how to get and keep those online customers.
Todd Jarvis, Director of Clarus USA , will lecture on electronic procurement which is seen as one of the leading technologies for corporations to cut costs.
The afternoon session with Calum Russell from Microsoft SA will encompass case studies on enterprise portals and Intranets.
