I've been active in eCommerce and eBusiness since its emergence during the late 1980s. I conduct research, perform consultancy assignments, and on occasions act as a public interest advocate for both consumers and business. This site contains a considerable amount of information about many different aspects of eCommerce and eBusiness.

The Scope of the Terms 'eBusiness' and 'eCommerce'

'Electronic business', e-business or eBusiness is a useful general term for the conduct of business with the assistance of telecommunications and telecommunications-based tool. It encompasses a vast array of categories.

It encompasses inter-organisational e-mail; directories; trading support systems for commodities, products, customised products and custom-built goods and services; ordering and logistic support systems; settlement support systems; and management information and statistical reporting systems.
