Partners Janine Brown, W. Thomas Carter, Richard Grice and Steve Pottle to Participate in Event
Over the next few years, the number of people on the Internet worldwide is expected to exceed 500 million. The Internet has secured its place in the business world. It has become a more cost efficient, swift, and broad-based way to conduct business at home and abroad. Figures reveal why the Net has become the most appealing way to conduct business. It costs banks only one penny to process a Net-based transaction, compared with $1.27 for a branch. Additionally, the tremendous profitability of E-commerce further highlights why the Internet has exploded as the most lucrative way to conduct business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions. As early as 2003, E-business transactions in the financial services industry are expected to total a staggering 80 billion dollars.
