IT and e-Commerce

Hands up everyone who has bought something online.

The use of PCs at home and work has led to an ever growing number of people making purchases over the Internet. Common purchases include music CDs, books, airline tickets, financial services, clothes, gifts, and groceries.		 Among the advantages of e-business are:
  • Access to a range of products worldwide
  • Visuals that provide a preview of what's available
  • Shops that are open for business every hour of every day.
.		 Behind the scenes of an e-business website, a lot of effort and teamwork goes into making the process efficient and customer-friendly.

Designers, software developers, and network specialists need to liaise closely together to provide a positive shopping experience for the online customer.
