Implementing and re-building new web strategies involves
re-accessing the technical and business reasons for the web presence, its
infrastructure and the core business of the corporation. These lead to building real-time processes,
re-focusing e-business and shaping integration. Their impact on the bottom line has been reported extensively by
IDC and the Gartner Group.
Today's executives are preoccupied with a mandate to grow
shareholder value. They face four key
challenges:
·
Growing
Revenues and how to create new strategies to further growth.
·
Reducing
Costs and how to improve financial performance.
·
Enhancing
Productivity and how to streamline returns on technology
·
Investing
in Technology and in the future
·
How
to define an integrated business and technology strategy.
E-commerce and business process integration technologies have
continued to evolve from products originally created during the dot-com growth
era and in data mining, e-commerce, b2b initiatives and business process
management. Solutions and strategies
were developed to fit criteria and categories prevalent during the advent and
growth of each category, re-packaged to encompass new needs as they arose.
In the process, the complexity and redundancy has multiplied. This has regressed planned strategic goals
and heightened complexity at both the fundamental technology, and business
process levels, contributing to sweeping losses in current e-commerce models.
E-commerce initiatives need to be remodeled to be viable.
Intraclient works with management to re-focus the web site while establishing
fundamentals found within the core expertise of the enterprise.
Management re-focuses the direction of the website. Intraclient gets web based organizations to
achieve maximum exposure with a view to achieving profitability and an exit
strategy. This could be in many forms including an IPO, consolidation, merger
or acquisition. Dot-com operations
cannot pursue certain types of exit in view of the dot-com image in the
financial markets. An overhaul of
operations and re-channeling the corporation to have this access is a major
challenge. Intraclient can help you do
this.
Value of
Connectivity
Integration puts Metcalfe's Law to work. The value of connectivity multiples through better information
sharing, improved economies of scale and creating streamlined processes and new
applications.
The challenge is in putting the new technology in place and making
it work. (Metcalfe's Law: The value of a network increases by the square of the
number of connections).
Real-time processing directly impacts productivity and adds to the
ability to survive the 21st century. Technology based real time solutions
compress to zero the time it takes to get and use information, to learn, to
make decisions, initiate action, to deploy resources, to innovate.
Understanding and evaluating core business assets and aligning
these with web initiatives re-builds the web business into a stable profitable
enterprise. The core is identified and
strategies developed using data available on areas where the web business has
worked or failed. Where permitted
partners KPMG Consulting or Deloitte Consulting work with Intraclient to reach
consensus on the approach and path to initiate, with management approval.

Integrate
business processes
Java technology, open source software, internet protocols and
application connectors provide the components that answer the needs for system
integration and real time processing.
Intraclient's breakthrough technology brings these components together
building client-specific needs efficiently.
The use of modular components embedded in the process while
developing the client-specific system makes it possible to achieve ease of
implementation, maintains flexibility, limits complexity, makes it easier to
address security issues, calls for minimal user training requirements and
allows integration of b2b commerce and internal business processes without
initiating separate paradigms.
As corporations build business connections and integrate internal
business processes, the need for the web and legacy systems to work together
has grown stronger.
Intraclient QEAi is used to position integrated business processes
within existing frameworks quickly and efficiently working in relation to the
overall cost of the business process and the cost saved per transaction.
Connectivity to other processes as integration needs expand
further enables Metcalfe's Law without a detrimental squaring of integration
costs since each process integrated is a component within the general system
unlike existing methods where a component is either unrelated to the general
system, or is so large that it usurps the system.
The QEAi application designs and builds dynamic distributed
business processes and integrates applications and technologies. Some of the
features include ready-made objects that contain built in integration, workflow
and system properties. These objects
create an integrated application the core of which is the extraordinary method
of the innovative proprietary forms metaphor. Workflow and routing is embedded.
