3.4 Business Process with E-Business

Business process is a series of related activities or tasks that will accomplish specific organizational goal.

	Examples of business process include receiving purchase order, hiring employee, shipping products. The war
	effort led to large scale manufacturing efforts that often produced poor quality.

A lot of companies are now turning to conduct business process over the Internet.

The switch to e-business is more than creating a web interface to your manual or even automated old process.

Companies that implement E-business need to change the way business is conducted.

Issues to Be Considered When Using E-Business

	Rapid process development and change management: companies should adapt their business process to
	include new products and services which is a need when organizations do business through Internet.

	Process monitoring: when using E-business, there should be a way for enabling monitoring of processes and
	identify the work flow.

	Process management: It is sometimes necessary to enable human intervention to solve any occurrence of
	exceptions and problems.

	System performance: any e-business process solution must provide the appropriate performance level
	(scalability, reliability, high availability)
