Commerce (Traditional & E-Commerce)
• Commerce refers to all the activities around the purchase and sales of goods or services.– Marketing, sales, payment, fulfillment, customer service
• Electronic commerce is doing commerce – fully or partially - with the use of computers & networks.
• E-Commerce results in transformation of business processes through the use of technology.

Evolution
• 1970s: Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)– Used by the banking industry to exchange account information over
secured networks, also called wire transfers
• Late 1970s and early 1980s: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for e-commerce within companies– Used by businesses to transmit data from one business to another
• 1990s: the World Wide Web on the Internet provides easy-to-use technology for information publishing and dissemination– Cheaper to do business (economies of scale)
– Enable diverse business activities (economies of scope)

Fast Forward…to new age

Integrating “E” in business
