Many companies already engage in e-commerce for corporate purchasing; secure distribution of information; direct marketing, selling, and customer service; banking and billing, and marketplace trading. Pioneering entrepreneurs have mixed internet technologies with imagination and invented new business models and service offerings that did not exist in the pre-internet economy.

But you need to position yourself to win in this new space, and the Business Agility zone can help you do so. Over the coming months you'll find case studies, new research and informed expert advice on a range of key topics like B2B trading exchanges and being more customer focussed.

Current focus: B2B, how to collaborate with your trading partners.



Four questions to ask before doing e-business with your trading partners:
1.Which of your current business processes could be accomplished more quickly in an online environment?
2. What do your competitors do online?
3. How much could your company save if it had real-time access to its supply chain?
4. Which departments stand to gain the most from becoming web-enabled?
