ecommerce is the new wave in the world of business. ecommerce means having a business available to anyone in the world, anytime of day or night. It marks a paradigm shift in the way business has been carried out for centuries.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.

Even with world economies in a flux, Forrester research expects U.S. online retail sales to grow at 11% to $156 billion in 2009. This indicates how the online industry is set to grow worldwide. Competition too is intense with very low barriers to entry. At the same time, doing justice to a full fledged ecommerce business is as complicated as any other business.

Myths Abound

There is a very persistent notion that it is easy to set up an ecommerce website and quickly make profits, or add online business to existing brick and mortar business to get profits. While it is easy to set up a commercial website and add the components (shopping carts, order processing, merchandise ) to make it complete, the job essentially has only begun.

Several other myths abound regarding the ease of setting up an ecommerce business. These only give a false sense of the complexity of the business, making it more difficult to make changes later on, with lesser resources available.

If you are serious about having an ecommerce business for its own sake or as an extension of your offline business, do your research well. An important requirement would be understanding all the requirements for setting up an ecommerce website as well as running the business. Getting in an experienced partner to implement your ecommerce strategy early on will enable you to focus on the rest of the business.
