    Abstract
    Unlike any technology before it, the Internet has almost overnight achieved a broad level of global awareness, both for businesses and individuals. Global e-commerce will reach approximately $1.3 trillion by 2003. Current market research data supports that the most rapid growth to come, both for B2C and B2B segments will occur outside of the United States. B2B e-business revenues will dominate, with over 85% of transactions occurring between businesses. To support the unique demands of designing and building e-Business sites, professional services companies are exploding, and are forecasting to generate well over $60 billion in just the next few years. According to most market observers, most companies severely underestimate the challenges of building and maintaining the global e-business. Whether a dot.com, Global 1000 or a small enterprise, effectively building robust e-business architecture that is able to address the global challenge requires a strategic outlook. The ability to grasp not only complex interrelationships between the various systems and platforms, but more importantly, the impact of using technology to help meet customer needs in any corner of the globe is required. Because ultimately the real benefit of the Internet is to closely connect company to customer, wherever each may be. Therefore for industry and organisations to embark upon e-business strategy to effectively meet the needs of customers and at the same time reach operational efficiency within their supply chains and add insurmountable value should be the goal of all organisations.
