It is an enabling business process made possible with technology that provides more information and faster information delivery. It is neither a separate technology for business nor a separate business process. To most people, E-business incorrectly conjures an umbrella of radical initiatives for doing business on the Internet rather than for efforts at enabling business as usual and extending marketing, sales, and support opportunities merely through a new channel. Even I-business is still business with its emphasis clearly on commercial acumen rather than technical skills. Technology is only a supporting player, not the leading actor.
Technology enables or inspires E-business innovation.
It makes or breaks implementations. It opens doors for contracts, new business, or integration assignments where competent skills seem limited. However, success with e-business is judged in the language of business not of technology. The role of business is one empowered by sharing information and making deals. Instead, the power of technology roles is enhanced by hoarding information or purposely misdirecting its application.
