E-Business Lessons Learned
Things are always more complicated than you think (plan accordingly!)
Swiss Army Knife Syndrome – having a single tool that performs many functions provides additional challenges
Strategic Alignment of Business and IS
Create menu of e-business services rather than reacting to demands by customers
Determine what clients really need, not just what they ask for
Bleeding Edge vs. Mature Products/Technologies
