Successful companies, large and small, new or established, know that the smartest business decision is an informed one, especially when tapping into the vast potential of the Internet.

Informed e-business decisions are made easier at ebiz.enable, Industry Canada's Web site dedicated to helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) succeed in reaping the rewards of e-business.

Summary

ebiz.enable is organized into six sections. Each deals with a distinct stage of the e-business environment.

1. Where to start

For beginners, ebiz.enable tells you exactly what e-business is and how it can help you: how familiar business considerations - like start-up strategies and return on investment - will fit perfectly into your e-business plans. Learn the basics using the easy-to-use tutorial!

2. What e-business can do

The "e" in e-business stands for "electronic" but it might just as easily stand for "everything". You'll learn more about the advantages of competitive intelligence as well as valuable information about management, marketing and sales, customer relationships, human resources and production and distribution.

3. What others are doing

Growing numbers of SMEs from different industries are going on-line. The lessons they've learned and the successes they have achieved can help you recognize opportunities and avoid pitfalls. You'll find case studies and success stories from Canada and around the world.

4. Assessing your business

Just as a smart motorist checks the oil and kicks tires before setting off on a trip, a wise business owner evaluates his or her e-business readiness before embarking on an e-business journey. Ebiz.enable provides a selection of diagnostic tools to help determine your on-line readiness and the payoff from the investment.

5. Implementing e-business

Here's where you'll find sources of provincial and federal assistance, a guide to e-business technology, a look at potential legal and security issues plus an insight into how to select the best Internet service provider for your business.
