E-Business
 Definition 1:
E-Business is the electronic connection of
business operations to customers, suppliers,
employees and other partners. It includes, but not
limited to, product marketing, order entry, inventory
tracking, order fulfillment and after-sales support.
 Internet, email:
E-Business (electronic business) derived from such
terms as «e-mail» and «e-commerce», is the
conduct of business on the Internet.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Introduction
to e-Business (1)
It is widely acknowledged today that new ICT tend to modify
communication between the different players in the professional world,
notably:
• Relationships be tween the enterprise and its clients,
• The internal functioning of the enterprise, including enterpriseemployee relationships,
• The relationships of the enterprise with its different partners and
suppliers.
The term «e-Business» therefore refers to the intergration, within the
company of tools based on information and communication
technologies (generally referred to as business software) to improve
their functioning in order to create value for the enterprise, its clients,
and its partners.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Introduction
to e-Business (2)
In general one of the most important aspects of electronic business is
the complete integration of all parts of electronic business. All software
systems have to communicate and integrate with all other software
systems. There is no point in having island solutions. Pressure and
competition in the market demand a fully integrated company.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Introduction
to e-Business (3)
A general idea is to use new technology to support the daily business of
a company, organisation or non-profit institute. Business is quite old
and we see common business processes in various different industries
(e.g. banking, insurance and chemical). Technology is used to empower
employees, to automate common processes, to get closer to the
customer and save costs, save expensive labour and time to market as
well as the general competition pressure of the market.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Introduction
to e-Business (4)
• E-Business no longer only applies to virtual companies ( called click
and mortar) all of whose activities are based on the Internet, but also
to traditional companies (called brick and mortar).
• The term «e-Commerce» (also called Electronic commerce), which
is frequently mixed up with the terms «e-Business», only covers one
aspect of e-Business, that is the use of an electronic support for the
commercial relationship between a company and individuals («buysell BZC model»).
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Definition
of «Click and Mortar»
A type of business model that includes both online and
offline operations, which typically include a web sites and a
physical store
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Definition
of
«Brick and Mortar(B&M)»
B&M in its simplest usage is related to organisation location
in physical building.

Security
E-Business systems naturally have greater security risks than
traditional business systems, therefore it is important for e-business
systems to be fully protected against these risks. A far greater number
of people have access to e-business through the internet than would
have access to a traditional business. Customers, suppliers,
employees, and numerous other people use any particular e-business
system daily and expect their confidential information to stay secure.
Some common security concerns for e-Business include keeping
business and customer information private and confidential, authenticity
of data, and data integrity. Some of the methods of protecting ebusiness security and keeping information secure include physical
security measures as well as data storage, data transmission, anti-virus
software, firewalls, and encryption to list a few.

RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Electroni communications
are now an integal part
of business(1)
As technology progress, new communications are born and old ones- many of which seemed new so long ago--- fade away. When you’re
trying to connect with employees, colleagues, bosses, clients,
customers, suppliers or any other business contact, you may have to
more choices than you realize. Whether for interpersonal or marketing
communications, electronic media are critical to getting business done
efficiently and cost-effectively.
E-mail
One of the older forms of electronic communication remains a staple of
modern business. Because of its versatility, email can be used for
asking questions and getting answers, holding mini-group conferences,
making people aware of issues, passing along documents, sharing
information and much more. From a marketing standpoint, email has
become a popular medium for sending mesages to customers.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Electroni communications
are now an integal part
of business(2)
Mobile Devices
Although communication with mobile devices may be less formal than
other forms of communication, people are increasingly turning to
messages using cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) etc. As
a result, not only do business asociates communicate with one another
via mobile devices, but many companies have begun marketing to
customer through mass text messages.
SocialNetworking Media
The capability and uses of social networking media continue to evolve.
Some mailtain social networking represents a new frontie in marketing
and business networking. Companies promote events, communicate
with customers, offer discounts and draw attention to sales using social
networking media.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Internet and Web
1) The Internet is a global system of interconnected
computer networks that use the standart Internet
protocol TCP/IP.
2) Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents
accessed via the Internet.

• It is impossible to automate chaos!
• Customers of a project companys’s management must

Business System
Planning (BSP) Method
BSP developed by IBM is a top-down method to assist
organisations in establishing a system architectore plan.
BSP assumes that «an Information System plan for a
business must be integrated with the organisation’s
business plan and should be developed from the point of
view of top management and with their participation» (IBM
Corporation)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Business processes
The BSP design techniques concentrate on the data and
treat it as a resource that must b managed in the same way
as any other resources. This produces a design that is
much more likely to satisfy the information needs of the
organisation, because an organisation’s data changes
more slowly than the processing procedures.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Business processes
There are four level stages:
•
•

•
Identifying the business environment
Business planning

RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Information Survey
of an Organisation (1)
A preliminary organisation information survey is a
necessary phase of any e-Business Software design.
One of the approaches for dealing with this problem is
based on the BSP method noted previously
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Information Survey
of an Organisation (2)
Business Planning is used by an organisation to direct
present and future business development.
Business Plan defines goals, objectives, resource
requirements.
If some other IS is already in use, its functions and
limitations should be identified.
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Business charts
Major functions are first defined when analysing the
structure of an organisation.
The processes included in each major function are then
defined, and these are broken down into sets of activities.
Through this process, the business activities can be
identified and documented.
The reults of a business systems analysis are displayed in
the form of so-called business charts.

Basic principles of
eLOGSERV platform
•
Scalable logistics collaboration:
The number of stages of general logistics model "buy-move-make-sell"
and correspondingly the individual structure of adapted to the specific
needs of LSPs can be dynamically extended using Web-based
coordinating mechanisms and semantic interoperable services.
•
Use of Internet-Based Collaborative Framework
incorporating advanced IT&T solutions (RFID technology, Simulation &
Visualisation, Multi-agent modelling) to support networked LSPs.
•
Dynamic adaptation of the general architecture of ICF to
the specific needs of different generations of logistics service providers:
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Integration in ICF is considered from two points of view:
1)
integrating of business processes (BP) of LSPs, which are
supported now by separate already operating portals :
2)
integrating of different ICT solutions:
•
Models and methods of Artificial Intelligence (distributed multiagent models, knowledge representation and processing)
•
Simulation & Visualisation, VR
•
RFID technology.
SOA, Web services, Semantic Interoperable Services, XML, Ajax as
Web development techniques, are used as technological platform for
integrating

WBF Demonstrator
functions
Web-based framework (WBF) Demonstrator should provide
the following features and functions:
 An integrated view of the heterogeneous e-resources
(web-sites, portals, etc.) to facilitate transfer of the
research results
 Adaptation of demonstrator's general structure to the
local requirements, business models, and businessrelated applications
 Demonstration of the WBF facilities in the selected
application area - eLogistics

Service-oriented
Architecture
In order to achieve these functionalities it will be necessary to expose all the eresources as services. The integration will be implemented following principles
of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) There is a lot of standalone research
Internet portals and web-sites, which have different scientific and technological
information to provide or to handle. WBF combines those e-resources to one
portal. The benefit for the users and the providers from WBF is that they can
have the access to a source of combined information. From technological point
of view the main objection is to create the best communication between WBF
and separate web-sites/ portals. In connection with this, web services will be
used as communications- endpoints. They are adaptable to different kinds of
software technologies, like .NET, Java, PHP.
