Doing Business via the
Information Highway
Being "connected" is becoming increasingly essential for today's small businesses. Business and governments have recognized the considerable potential of electronic commerce as a vehicle for global trade and investment, a way to generate high-quality jobs and a boon for consumers who can now purchase products and services from all over the world more easily than ever before.

Electronic commerce is more than simply selling over the Internet. The real benefits of electronic commerce are realized by integrating all business processes. The results are reduced production costs and inventory, and improvements in order fulfilment and customer service.

As part of its Connecting Canadians initiative (http://connect.gc.ca) to make Canada the most connected country in the world, the Government of Canada has developed a number of programs and services designed to help Canadians get on-line.
