UK FIRMS SURF THE E-BUSINESS WAVE.
Over two-thirds of UK companies are doing business with customers over the internet, according to an e-business study by the Confederation of British Industry.
Forty-five per cent of firms now transact online whether or not they have back-office integration. And 16 per cent consider themselves to be 'fully networked' compared with six per cent in 2002.
On the decision-making front, for those businesses with an e-business strategy, 63 per cent now say they involve the board in the decision-making process, compared with 41 per cent in 2002.
The figure is up 50 per cent on three years ago, and marks the steady rise of internet use in most firms both internally and externally. Externally the majority of firms now give staff access to the internet and almost half provide remote and teleworking access to their business, up from just 10 per cent in 2002
