i-Netix e-Business Consulting

e-Business Consulting Practice

The Internet is an indispensable tool for dealing with your customers, suppliers, other companies and employees. The proper use of e-Business technology makes it possible to streamline your business processes and manage more and more of the customer and product life cycle — from advertising, promotion and marketing, to sales, purchasing, and distribution, through customer support and inventory restocking. But what exactly is the “proper use” of e-Business technology? What e-Business processes make the most sense for your business? And how do you go about implementing these technologies and processes with the greatest return on your time and financial investments?

We can help.

We help organizations align technology strategy to business needs through the development of pragmatic e-Business solutions. Members of our management consulting practice work with you to develop and implement integrated corporate and e-Business strategies, while members of our e-Business solutions practice work with you to design and implement web-based systems that streamline business processes to better manage electronically business partner relationships, customer relationship and product life cycles. Our process includes three phases:

Analysis and Planning addresses the issues of developing an e-Business strategy, defining the goals and objectives, and then enabling management to lead their companies toward those goals and objectives. Typically this involves review or development of: 1) strategic plans; 2) growth strategies; 3) goals, objectives and measures; 4) improving market position strategies; and 5) aligning executive and technical teams.

Specification creates a plan, outlining the proposed e-Business solution. We work with your management and technical team to develop the specification. An important part of the overall specification is defining performance criteria, measuring progress and tracking results.

Implementation is the work (people, processes, measurement and incentive and reward systems) that makes it all happen. Implementation cuts across functions, delivering value into the marketplace, while e-Business technology is an enabler for organizations to support delivery of improved process performance – both internally and externally and from an operational and financial standpoint. To achieve desired benefits, we help organizations align their technology strategy to their business needs, working together to develop pragmatic e-Business solutions that address: 1) website design or remaking; 2) Internet marketing and promotion; 3) e-Commerce; 4) database and content management issues; 5) system integration issues; 6) tools and development platforms; 7) ongoing maintenance and support; and 8) outsourcing.

Whether you need basic design and hosting services, an e-Business strategy, or a comprehensive e-Business solution, i-Netix is uniquely positioned to help you grow your business.
