e-Business Communications

Traditional communication methodology has been print and distribute

Networks, Internet, and electronic documents are transforming forces

Electronic documents: Tie to preprinted form is broken

Flexibility in content

Flexibility in delivery

Networks and Internet enable communications process reengineering

Printing, if required, may take place later in the flow

Electronic documents and reports can be tailored in both content and deliveryto each recipient
