A "stage two" e-commerce system will usually connect directly to your company records, using existing electronic information and updating databases such as inventory and accounts receivable.

The integration of electronic transactions with your existing administration systems results in increasing business automation. This is the e-commerce payoff, but it won't happen without due care. That's why we impose a highly disciplined approach to implementation.

It means planning and more planning, then working with your staff to ensure a smooth transition to the new systems without disruption to the orderly day-to-day conduct of business.
