Not too long ago, a website was a nice to have list on a business card. Today a website is all addressing system of qualification.
It didn’t take long for the world to say, where is your website?
Nor did they take time to confirm back with you on their expectations and start judging you on the basis of how well your website is made.
Some of the quality websites that remain updated takes hours to make and are made with intense focus on the communication!
Whilst, some are made for a simple reason that there should be a website that talks about you, your services, products, customers and what not.
Then again, there are the transaction supportive business platforms that are mistaken for website, though are hosted and managed in much the same way.
These could your business applications; these could your website that just runs a shopping platform, a community or whatever it can be.
Ever wondered how many types and classifications of business application exist?
Well to be honest, there are no defined systems of classifying a website.

Brimming with optimism, businesses tend to apply marketing and lead generation techniques, store business data acquisition in to their CRM’s and do a lot of things in several closely related, but largely disconnected modules.
At least that is how things worked in the regular ERP’s of the world. There is no exception to this, not even Oracle Apps or Microsoft Dynamics ever managed to make any difference on these matters.
The disconnects were serious disconnects, there was no direct synthesis between what working on sales and how marketing is impacting the sales operations.
The biggest disconnect perhaps was in the lack of workflow and process integration towards sales, marketing and invoicing teams.
The field level data and integration with business integration, dynamic value chain developments etc were altogether missing in regular CRM and ERP applications.
Customer relationship management (CRM) is not for the faint of heart! Marketing, advertising, sales and customer service representatives can no longer guess at or dictate what their customers want. Today’s business clients and consumers are more sophisticated. They are used to targeted products, targeted marketing and advertising and customer service representatives who anticipate their needs and are prepared with great products and services. If you want to attract customers to your online store or website, or improve your sales conversions with social media marketing or call center up selling, you must first understand your target market, and what your customers truly want.
There is tech involved in enterprise governance and those are sometime so old that that its difficult to find people who are still working or are alive and can work to fix any issues.For enterprises that have inherited and are working with legacy architecture and applications going mobile can be huge a factor or challenge.Some of the core challenges include the adoption and development of service layers that can be shared on a mobile platform.The sheer size of database and data being rendered on handheld devices could be very large and leads to quality issues.The manner of technology adoption pose regulatory issues… for instance, the French now passed a law that forbids sending out emails to employees after working hours.
‘Key Performance Indicators’ or KPIs as we say, are very important to the enterprise and nearly every company is talking about them, these days. But, there are still a lot of businesses that don’t know how to define the right KPIs to get a good picture of success. To really understand where you are succeeding and where you are falling short, you have to measure the right things. For example, if your goal is to increase sales in the Minneapolis store by 5% in the year 2015, you couldn’t determine success by establishing a KPI to measure the number of shopping bags you have on hand in the store.
Technology is flying at its fastest rate yet and the pace of change can make it hard for businesses to keep up. It seems as if you just finish your software product or application and it is time to tweak things to adapt to change. This adaptation is not just a nice thing to have, it is a necessity. Users will not tolerate poor performance, clumsy navigation or other signs of aging software.
