So where do you think the economy is heading? Are we to be catapulted into financial freedom, or steamrolled into a fiscal nightmare? With the Dow rocketing toward new highs and the threat of inflation looming ever so gently off in the horizon, our beloved “Head of the Fed” Alan Greenspan continues to do everything in his power to control it. So what’s causing all of this recent chaos? Why the sudden boom in business? Where is all of this day-trading, auction-addicted, dot-com madness coming from? The answer is e-commerce.
As you can see, the rewards from a successful e-commerce program are significant. Of course, it isn’t necessary to go to the extent to which Eprod did. However, it does prove that you should probably do something. Whether it’s taking an order via e-mail or installing a “real-time” MRP (Materials Requirement Planning) system, companies today need to act much quicker than they did only three years ago. The times have definitely changed.
