Web Enabling Applications

Right now, The Gartner Group estimates that American corporations are spending over $ 32B each year to buy and/or move their core business applications to the Web. Reasons for this investment include greater efficiency, flexibility and, in the longer run, lower costs.

However, the single biggest reason is simple - customers are demanding it! External customers are demanding that companies provide them full internet access to information, products and services. And if they cannot get this access from one particular company, they simply find another one.

Internal customers, employees, are demanding that they have full internet access to internal communications, products, services and even other employees. Web-enabled applications create a much better environment for employee creativity, communication, and the likelihood that employees will: " . . .do the right thing - and do it right the first time."

What does 'web-enablement' cost? What types of businesses are likely to receive the best return on their investment? How should businesses determine whether or not to take internal applications to the internet and why are some businesses extremely successful with their web-based applications and others fail so miserably?

Our guest speakers are uniquely well prepared to answer these questions as well as share their experiences with you. One is a provider of web-enabling services, one has built a business by web-enabling a product and one has web-enabled software to provide better service to their customers and channel.

Don't miss this opportunity to better prepare yourself for your web-enabling project.
