Abstract: | Many of Europe’s small to medium enterprises (SMEs) have been left behind in the E-commerce race. They still have a long way to go to catch up with larger companies already responding to customer demand for online cashless payment schemes, sales automation programs, supply chain integration applications, secure database access for remote employees, secure messaging and Web access, and digital document management. Already struggling to grasp market share and provide value to customers which differentiates them, provision of an E-commerce channel to market is an additional pressure. |
