I know that most of you read InfoWorld Electric religiously, but just in case you missed the 09/27/99 issue, here's a tidbit. Italics are mine and there will be a test on that content next week ;-) -Madly INTERNET COMMERCE CLIMBS TO $1.3 TRILLION BY 2003 Electronic commerce is booming, with sales expected to grow from $50 billion in 1998 to $1.3 trillion in 2003, reported International Data at the recent Internet Commerce 2.0 conference. Investments in e-business sites currently reach between $1 million and $30 billion each, followed by an additional 50 percent to 100 percent of that cost each year. Despite these exorbitant costs, e-business sites are largely profitable. Lotus Development strategist Mike Zisman finds that a recent trend among e-commerce retailers is to locate "sweet spots," diversifying revenues out of advertising and into a combination of subscription and transaction revenues. At the conference, Zisman noted the Internet's ability to lower transaction and coordination costs, allowing companies to outsource to Internet application service providers. This indicates the emergence of another trend, that of comprehensive business process outsourcing.
