FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GTI
Opens E-Business Center
October 10, 1999 /PR Newswire/
-- Global
Technologies, Inc. (GTI) announced today the establishment of its
E-Business Knowledge Center to conduct, document and communicate
Internet product and market research to aid companies in integrating
electronic commerce (e-commerce) in their overall information technology
and marketing strategies.
GTI is a global management and
technology consulting business.
``Companies are learning there is much
more to e-commerce than just advertising on the Internet or setting up a
company Web site. How to harness the Internet and its possibilities can
be overwhelming and the information is often fragmented within a
company,'' said Dr. K. O. Ghanney, Chairman & CEO, of GTI ``The goal
of GTI's E-Business Knowledge Center is to provide a holistic approach
to assessing how the Internet can impact our clients' growth as well as
our own.''
Studies indicate that by 2001, online
retail revenue will reach $17 billion, while business-to-business
e-commerce will generate $183 billion. While many companies are selling
their products via the Internet, many are not maximizing additional
opportunities to reach out to new customers or to conduct
business-to-business transactions utilizing e-commerce technologies.
The GTI E-Business Knowledge Center will
focus on the following areas of e-commerce:
 | Strategic consulting services to help
clients identify and align their overall business strategy with
their IT strategy, while creating new revenue streams utilizing
e-business technologies and products, |
| Network and systems services to
evaluate infrastructure and security technologies as they relate to
e-business |
| ERP practice to include sales force
automation, product configuration, order management, performance
management and corporate portals |
| Application services to provide the
IT professionals experienced in Internet languages and technologies
needed to deploy e-commerce products, and |
| Education services offering advanced
training on client/server-based applications, Internet development
and infrastructure technologies such as XML and JAVA. |
``By establishing a dedicated E-Business
Knowledge Center, GTI hopes to drive e-business concepts and offerings
into all the business processes of our company and our clients,'' Dr.
Ghanney said.
