EBusiness
E-Business is becoming a major force in today's fast-moving business climate.
Moving forward from standard websites, innovative organisations are now harnessing eBusiness
My Business
My primary consulting focus is the integration of eBusiness into your business. Ideally, I work with business management to enhance your business model by targeting the following outcomes --
My Experience
My career experience blends two perspectives --
Technology -- From 30+ years of applying state-of-the-art systems technologies, I have a broad grounding in the potential of technology and its limitations.
Management -- From my experience as the founder of a successful technology company in America in the 1990s, I understand from a management perspective the power of eBusiness as a business-leveraging force.
Your Business
You know your business, better than anyone. You understand your markets, your customers, your business model, and your visions for the future.
My first task is to learn from you about your business and your internal culture. I need to understand where your business currently is, its strengths, its challenges, and its vulnerabilities.
My Approach
I speak the language of business management.
Business Relationships are King! -- My approach is biased towards the use of eBusiness to support the dynamics of business relationships. Because business relationships (with prospects, customers, partners, etc.) are increasingly becoming the dominant factor in business, I place them at the centre of my approach.
Business Outcomes Rule! -- I focus squarely on business outcomes and achieving them within your current business constraints. Accordingly, I employ a measured approach to applying eBusiness, balancing its potential impact against your current business realities to realise early payoffs and to ensure smooth 'sailing'.
My Services
My services target the management level of a business. They are designed to empower management to make effective decisions about eBusiness. Accordingly, I offer the following eBusiness services --
In addition, I offer a comprehensive set of custom services.
Your Benefits
EBusiness brings significant benefits, depending on the challenges you are faced with in your business.

My Background
Iwas born and educated in Australia. I did my undergraduate degree in Physics and Computer Science from Sydney University, and subsequently obtained several graduate degrees in America. Over a career spanning 30+ years in America and Europe, I worked as a research scientist at two research centers, as a professor of Computer Science, as a systems technology consultant in the New York area, and as a software author for several publishing companies.
To complement a strong record in applying systems technologies, I have a management background. I raised over US$2 million to found an e-Learning company in 1996. I understand the business realities of conceptualising an idea, communicating it to investors, realizing the idea in a product, understanding a marketplace and its customers, creating marketing channels and strategies for the product, efficiently servicing customers, and achieving business success. This experience enables me to understand the impact of eBusiness across all business dimensions -- marketing, operations, financial, human resources, and innovation.
My Fees
I structure my fees to meet my clients' needs. In order to balance risk and build trust, I recognise the need to establish a relationship in phases and to create a consultancy remuneration formula that matches the nature the project and your business constraints.
Accordingly, I offer the following fee structures as templates that will be customized to your requirements:-
