"...Most companies began with a Web site, as shown at the bottom left of Figure 1. At about the same time (or soon after), they began using the Internet to allow employees access to internal company applications (intranets). A little later, most companies began to experiment with allowing employees or customers outside the company to access information. Good examples of this are employee access to current company benefits programs or access by salespeople and customers to online product manuals. Although some of these applications are handled by the corporate IT group, most are departmental projects. For example, human resources might establish the benefits access program, while sales might put the company product manual online.

Once a company begins to move beyond this modest approach to e-business, it usually explores using the Internet for supply-chain integration or for purchasing supplies from other companies. The idea of selling directly to customers is always discussed at this point, but it is usually put off until later. Indeed, today, most e-business involves business-to-business commerce rather than business-to-consumer commerce. Currently, most large companies are at least experimenting with one or more large-scale supply chain or e-commerce applications. Several companies have moved beyond experimentation and have begun to develop large-scale e-business applications. A few have created truly powerful applications and are relying on the Web as their primary place to conduct business. Almost all of these large-scale e-business and supply chain applications are being undertaken by corporate IT groups."
