and so it begins.
When does a business become an
e-business? Until recently, the answer
seemed to be: when you can buy some-
thing over its Web site. Today, we know
better. It’s when you work with your
customers, take and fulfill orders, pro-
vide services, procure billions of dollars
in goods and services, interlock with
your suppliers
—
and support thousands of
employees in scores of countries around
the world to learn, collaborate and work
in real time…on the Web. That’s how
we’re helping our customers become
e-businesses. And it all starts at home.
