A Connected Enterprise
The "connected
enterprise" is a business
organization that experiences
reduced costs, improved
efficiencies and enhanced
customer relationships as a
result of effectively leveraging
the Internet and private IP
networks to exchange business
data, securely, reliably, and
auditably between internal
operations and B2B processes.
Achieving the "connected
enterprise" is an evolutionary
process necessary to be
competitive. By using the
Internet to integrate your
value chain and share
information beyond the edge of
the enterprise with global
offices, customers, suppliers
and other value chain partners,
you have the potential to
significantly reduce costs,
increase efficiencies, and
enhance customer relationships.
