With a rapidly increasing number of people wanting to get information this way, organisations meeting the challenge will be better placed to reap the social and economic benefits. W ell, you can find information about almost every subject under the sun. You can get information about services, schools and hospitals in your area, or anywhere in the world for that matter - the list is endless. I t will be because the people that have it have not put it on the Internet yet. Many organisations in the UK have put their information on the Internet, but many do not even know it exists, and some of those that do are not doing anything about it yet.
Some organisations do it all themselves which has a few advantages but is fairly expensive.
A popular way is to get someone else to do it for you. This is cheaper and simpler, and makes no difference to a customer - they do not care who put the information there, as long as it is available and it is accurate. You will also have to think about things like security. To get someone else to do it for you will cost you between a couple of hundred and a few thousand pounds, depending on the size of your organisation and how much information you want to make available, and you will not have to worry about security. T here are hundreds of companies in the UK now who will do this for you, many of whom specialise in dealing with certain sectors or industries.
