Technical Project Management Electronic Commerce
Electronic commerce (EC) is the process of buying and selling or exchanging of products, services and information via computer networks including the Internet. Regardless of their basic purpose, virtually all Electronic Commerce sites rest on similar network structure, communication protocols, Web standards and security systems. While the commonality among EC sites certainly outweighs their differences, specialized servers and components are sometimes required, especially at sites with either substantial amounts of network traffic or unique selling or service needs. Since most sites utilize the same underlying technologies, this is not the distinguishing feature. Instead, the real key is the way in which the technology is employed and the attention given to the business aspects of the site.
