Frequently Asked Questions
What is E-Business?
E-Business is essentially the implementation of business process using modern information technology such as the Internet.
An example of this is E-commerce, whereby companies see their products or services through the world-wide-web.
What is E-Business Extreme?
E-Business Extreme is Electrostrata's answer for companies who wish to embrace E-Business or E-commerce. It is
a service which is design to convert problems into solutions.
My organisation is already doing E-Business, can E-Business Extreme help me?
Probably. If you having difficulties with your existing supplier then maybe you should give us a go. We are not
glorified web-designers who are claiming to develop business systems. Neither are we a technology consultancy
that knows little about developing for the Internet. We are specialists and E-Business is our business.
Is there a lot work involved in developing an E-Business program?
No. Our methodology is designed so that the solution covers as little or as much ground as you need. Our recommended
approach is to start with something small and then develop more as you need it.
Is it expensive?
No. Not compared to a system where there is no automation and everything is done by hand, or with simple tools.
I already have my own internal IT department, why shouldn't I just develop my own E-Business
system with them?
Because we specialise in this field and we have the necessary expertise and experience. If you use us, the job will be done
right first time. If you rely on people with no experience in this field, they will make mistakes (which we have already
learnt from) and it will cost you more in the long term. Also, because we know what we are doing, we can move quicker and
leave your internal IT free to focus on the aspects of your business that you already need them for.
How big/small is an E-Business project?
It is exactly as big or as small as you need it. If you have a small budget and want to try something simple, we can do that.
You can always increase the sophistication later. Alternatively, if you need a large multi-national system that must
integrate with other enterprise systems, we can do that too. Our technology is enterprise class and we have constructed
systems which work in multi-language, multi-currency environments.
