I'm looking for informations about e-business. I'm not working in this field of activity but I'm very interesting in E-business implementation in my company.
I've read several articles about this subjet but no one were very clear about the subject.
So I'd like to understand what is exactly e-business and what are the links between e-business and e-procurement, e-development, e-...
I'm trying to find informations about companies that have experienced this activity (successful or not), how much they spend for it, the problems they had to face with and what kind of benefits they win thanks to e-business activity...

Thank you.

Basicically you are an e business when you are using e-technologies in the majority of your business operations (like internet, intranet, ...)

Well any body understands all the e factors of e business

but the dilemma of e business and e commerce is much ;
So, the difference is that e commerce refers only to the process of selling goods and services online. And to determice if a business is an e business requires analysis of other aspects of that business.

For example; if i receive anorder through my online store, but i then phone up my supplier to replenish and shout across the room to a colleague to pack the item, I am not in e business. To be in e business, our business model re engineering must permeate throughout all aspects of my business.

Howecer, if I receive the order and my site automatically emails my supplier with a replenishment order, and then prints shipping and packing notes in my warehouse while i sit back and do nothing, then i have an e business, OK soit is an oversimplification, but you get my point.

The debate is too lengthy about e business that cannot be covered in one discusson, as i am master in compressing details so i do that here...

But the e business factors i didnt mention are
*Business to business (B2B) ( which microsoft follows)
* Business to Customer (B2C)
* e Agreements

And the Technologies make business an e business
* XML
* SAP
* internet & other communication mediums
* Visual languages as tools
* Databases(like oracle financial, ...)

If you have queries and comments send those to my email address...
