Business and technology go hand in hand. One popular term you’ll find on the world wide web is eCommerce. Are you wondering what it's all about?
eCommerce is simply conducting business online. There are many ways to transact your business online. In the physical world, you go to the bank to make deposits; you visit the grocery store or retail shops to make purchases; you go to the gas station to fill up your car’s tank. Each of these activities represents a transaction. Businesses also buy/lease equipment, exchange services, etc. This is called B2B (business to business).
In the virtual world, commerce is pretty much handled the same way except it requires the use of technology to make it all happen. Most of it happens behind the scenes.
