Brochure Websites |
The majority of websites on the internet are brochure type sites
(presence websites). These websites normally provide static
content. These websites allow companies to offer information about their
products or services for prospective customers/partners. Usually these
websites contain a "Contact Us" section to allow prospective customers/partners
the opportunity to communicate with the website owner. In fact, at this
particular time, the website you are currently browsing is a brochure
(static) website. These sites provide an easy method to communicate
company information and make it available and accessible to prospects,
customers and partners.

eCommerce Websites |
There are a significant number of eCommerce type websites on the
internet. These websites allow for the actual purchase of products and
services from customers, directly through the website. These websites
normally provide dynamic content (this
content is determined by the customer as he/she clicks the various areas on the
website). An example of a popular eCommerce site is Amazon.com.
There are many businesses that are strictly eCommerce businesses, with no
physical store front. Even those businesses with a physical store front
have also recognized the benefit of offering their products and services for
sale, over the internet. These types of websites usually offer a shopping
cart and secure check out functions. |

Business to Business (B2B) Web System |
Business to business (B2B) web systems are constructed to provide efficiencies
for business interactions and workflows. There are many types of
interactions which occur between businesses. The B2B term is a very
general term and is normally applied to a variety of different business
interactions. An example might include a "wholesaler-to-reseller"
distribution process. In this example, a B2B system might include drop
shipment and/or automated inventory management type functions. The system
would allow the companies to automate their communications to each other, which
has traditionally been phone or paper based. These systems normally
provide all business parties with significant process efficiencies. These
systems are also characterized as dynamic (a
workflow process normally triggers these various business interactions).

Custom Internal Applications |
Many businesses have recognized the value of creating their own custom internal
applications to utilize the internet. These web systems typically are
very specialized for a particular business. A company can experience
several benefits by making these internal applications...'web based'.
These include providing options for:
-
can allow employees to work remotely
-
can easily integrate branch offices for a company
-
can significantly reduce desktop support costs (workstations could require only
a browser)
-

etc.
These types of web based systems are normally dynamic
in nature (accessing application databases, other internal systems, etc.).
