ABSTRACT
E-business, the newbuzz word for the next millennium, is forcing the corporate world to rethink its computing strategies. How can we reach our customer? How can we provide our customers with what they need when they need it? Perhaps a more important question is who are your customers, and what categories of customers are there? Most E-commerce solutions have typically catered to the retail consumer. In the corporate world that consumer could be brokers, subdivisions, subsidiaries, departments, suppliers, or perhaps even the board of directors.
