Here are the notes taken by member Suzanne Hesseltine:

E-business more than E-commerce

  • Personalized information
  • Customer assistance
  • Consulting
  • Seamless integration of services (to include customer service)
  • Business to business

Developing E-commerce solutions

  • An e-commerce system is a service not a product
  • Solution to be delivered in web time – three months
  • Hard to distinguish technology from strategy

Development process

  • Requirements
  • External design
  • Internal design
  • Coding and unit test
  • Functional test
  • System integration test
  • Deployment

What kind of skills is a manager looking for?

  • Technical skills
    • Unix, Java (very important), servlets, JSP
    • Windows NT, ASP, ActiveX
    • SQL, HTML, JavaScript, http
  • Ownership of work
  • Teamwork
  • Ability to deliver solutions instead of systems

How to become an e-commerce architect:

  • Thorough technical understanding of web technology and data bases
