The term "e-commerce" indicates commercial transactions made via Internet, telephone or fax, electronic payment and banking operations systems, trading of goods and digitized services and electronic systems for stocks management.

Using Internet, anyone with a computer and access can make electronic transactions.

E-commerce is not limited to certain types of trade, technological products or services, but can be used by all companies, enabling them to make deals online.

Once connected, you can buy, sell and establish connections with the people and resources which are most useful for you, such as your own employees (located in the office or miles away), your suppliers, customers, bank accounts, credit information services, market information sources, and more...

The networks that support electronic trade can be applied to all the company's activities, including marketing and sales, purchases and logistics, production, design and engineering.
