Press Release Summary: The characteristics of Ecommerce

Press Release Body: Ecommerce (e-commerce) or electronic commerce, a subset of
ebusiness, is the purchasing, selling, and exchanging of goods and services over
computer networks (such as the Internet) through which transactions or terms of sale
are performed electronically. Ecommerce can be broken into four main categories:
Business-to-Consumer (B2C), B2B (Business-to-Business), Business-to-Government (B2G)
and Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C). Ecommerce offers a wider choice of services and
types of making transactions. The characteristics of Ecommerce can be summarized as
follows:

A. Business-oriented
Ecommerce is essentially business-oriented, as it is the purchasing, selling, and
exchanging of goods and services. Ecommerce expands market and brings more
customers. Online shopping is a more convenient way through which consumers get what
they want to buy. Regardless of the size of a business, Ecommerce means
opportunities to all.

B. Convenient service
In the unique Ecommerce environment, customers will no longer be confined by
geographical constraints in receiving services. The prominent feature of E-service
is convenience. Both consumers and businesses benefit from it.

C. System extendable
For Ecommerce, an extendable system is the guarantee of system stability. It is of
vital importance that the system must be extendable when a server traffic jam occurs
because a two-minute reset will result in loosing a huge number of customers.

D. Online safety
Online safety is the first priority of Ecommerce. Frauds, wiretapping, virus, and
illegal entries pose constant threats to Ecommerce. Therefore, an Internet safety
solution featuring end-to-end protection is called for. The solution may include
various protective measures such as encryption mechanisms, digital signature
mechanisms, firewalls, secure World Wide Web servers and antivirus protections.

E. Coordination
Ecommerce is a process of coordination between employees, customers, manufacturers,
suppliers and business partners. The traditional Ecommerce solution can improve the
internal coordination in a company, for example, via Emails. Thanks to the booming
Ecommerce, many new words and expressions are being created and becoming familiar to
the public. Typical examples include virtual businesses, virtual banks, online
shopping, online payment, online advertising and so on. In conclusion, Ecommerce is
displaying its charm to all.
