Where to start ?

Many organisations are now actively considering how to use internet technologies to optimise their existing business and exploit new opportunities. It is generally agreed that this involves much more than simply creating a new web-site. It is important to understand the impact on the existing business processes, integration with existing and legacy systems, organisational and structural impact and what new competencies and skill are required.

Even more significantly, it is essential to establish a shared vision of the organisation in the new e-business world.

A recent Forrester Research study identified that many e-business initiatives are failing because of a lack of a vision.

The Atticus e-business service can help you think through, visualise, and plan all aspects of an e-business initiative.
