E-business


Are you thinking about developing and implementing an e-business component in your business? Do you wonder whether Internet capabilities can increase your sales? Do you want to decrease costs, improve productivity and efficiency within your business?

BDC can help you assess whether e-business is right for your company and develop a strategy to maximize your opportunities for growth.

 Why is an e-business strategy important?
While e-business can help you increase your visibility, profits and competitive advantage, it is much more than just a website. Before jumping headfirst, it is important to understand the basics, recent models and applications that can help you grow your business.

To make the most of the Web, your action plan should reflect your overall business goals. This may include the following aspects:

  • Relevance of e-business for your company
  • SWOT (Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) and benchmark analysis
  • Type of technology (e-procurement and inventory management) and/or Web-based tools (Intranet, Extranet and Internet) to be integrated
  • Developing appropriate administrative support and processes
  • Financing for your e-business strategy
 How can you tap into BDC's expertise and resources?

  • One-on-one consulting: to implement a winning strategy at an affordable price.
