E-Business
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Introduction to e-Business (1)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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 enterprise-employee 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.
Introduction to e-Business (2)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Introduction to e-Business (3)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Introduction to e-Business (4)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
•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 («buy-sell BZC model»).
Definition of «Click and Mortar»
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
A type of business model that includes both online and offline operations, which typically include a web sites and a physical store
Definition of
«Brick and Mortar(B&M)»
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
B&M in its simplest usage is related to organisation location in physical building.
Business models
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
•Business-to-business (B2B)•Business-to-consumer (B2C)•Business-to-employee (B2E)•Business-to-government (B2G)•Government-to-business (G2B)•Goverrnment-to-government (G2G)•Government-to-citizen(G2C)•Consumer-to-consumer (C2C)•Consumer-to-business (C2B)
Security
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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 e-business 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.
Electronic Communication in Business

Electroni communicationsare now an integal part
of business(1)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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-mailOne 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.
Electroni communicationsare now an integal part
of business(2)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
Mobile DevicesAlthough 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 MediaThe 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.
Internet and Web
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Structuring the Business Information
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
•It is impossible to automate chaos!
•Customers of a project companys’s management must be involved in the project during the whole period
•Look around and try to find already existing IT solutions

BSP method
Business System Planning (BSP) Method
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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)
Business processes
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Business processes
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
There are four level stages:
•Identifying the business environment•Business planning•Business systems analysis•Database analysis
Information Survey of an Organisation (1)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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
Information Survey of an Organisation (2)
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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.
Business charts
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
• 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 multi-agent 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
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
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 business-related applications Demonstration of the WBF facilities in the selected application area - eLogistics
Service-oriented Architecture
RTU, Department of Applied Computer Software Systems
In order to achieve these functionalities it will be necessary to expose all the e-resources 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.
