ADVISORY/ COMDEX Panel - How E-Commerce Will Unfold over the Next Couple of Years - Details the Need for Enterprise Globalization.Business/Technology Editors ADVISORY...for Tuesday (April 3) --(BUSINESS WIRE)
WHAT: Well-established corporations and start-ups alike
have tried (often unsuccessfully) to use the Web to
their advantage. Unfortunately, the vast majority of
organizations fail to recognize the potential that
lies beyond their own backyard. This attitude, which
was once tolerable, is now detrimental. Studies have
consistently highlighted the rise of international
Web site potential, and the declining influence of
American buyers. Donald A. DePalma, vice president
of corporate strategy at Idiom Technologies, Inc.,
will discuss the need for enterprise globalization
and the strategies incumbent to making globalization
a success.
DePalma will discuss "The Global Opportunity:
Looking Beyond Our B2Backyards" in a panel session
entitled, "How E-Commerce Will Unfold over the Next
Couple of Years" at the COMDEX Chicago 2001
technology conference, comdex.biz.
The entire panel will discuss current key trends in
e-commerce including: enterprise globalization,
supply chain collaboration and innovation, the
growth of private exchanges, and e-commerce trends
and obstacles in Asia.
