E-commerce/business presents exciting new opportunities for industry and other organizations. Electronic transactions are now an integral feature of high-growth business. E-communications and the need for excellent self-presentation on the Web are required for success in networking. Managers are scurrying to implement solutions that provide a competitive edge or that streamline their operations. Whatever the motive, the biggest hurdle is found in the application of appropriate technology for accomplishing customer-friendly use of the system.
The goal of the conference is to explore the state-of-the-art in implementing such technology.
Four distinguished speakers will address the conference:
- Judy Johnson,
Vice President, The Meta Group
Post-2000 Business Strategy: Deploying Technology to Capture Market Ground - Bill Dean,
Senior Manager, Infrastructure and Technical Support, Tyco

President, Digitel Inc. and Adjunct Professor of Technology
