The E-Business Blueprint is a targeted, one-to-one consultation that
provides the business owner with a comprehensive overview of e-business integration
in Canada. A Student Business Advisor (SBA) from Student Connections (SC)
assesses the level of readiness of the client to move their business transactions on-line.
The client is also left with an informative "E-Commerce Action Plan" for future reference.
There are four main areas of focus within the E-Business Blueprint:
Hardware Issues
The SBA reviews the existing technology at your place of business and identifies areas that need to be upgraded or modified. These include workstations, Internet connectivity, digital accessories, hardware such as printers and modems, data storage and protection.
Software Issues
The client is made aware of the kinds of software they will need to have and use in order to skillfully conduct business on the Web. The SBA will review the individual businesses needs, which may include discussing operating systems, office products, accounting packages, browsers, e-mail, virus protection software, image and HTML editing tools and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Web Site Issues
If the client has an existing Web site, the SBA will be able to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. If the client is considering building a Web site, our students can provide insight into a variety of related issues, such as domain registration and hosting, graphics, product photos, technical and strategic marketing and e-commerce planning.
Business Issues
Adding an electronic storefront to a "bricks and mortar" business means readjusting business processes to work in a virtual market. Our SBAs can prioritize and discuss business issues as they relate to on-line activities, such as allocating human and monetary resources, corporate identification, security and privacy, shipping and cartage companies, tax and customs, payment settlement, and much more!
