The Role of E-Commerce Systems for the Construction Industry
The use of e-commerce systems has increased substantially in the past five years, and now a number of companies in the construction industry have joined consortiums to develop e-commerce portals. These new systems encourage companies to review the way in which existing processes are undertaken, and often re-engineered process are introduced. It is important to understand the difference between the terms e-commerce and e-business, e-commerce refers to buying and seeling transactions which use some24The Australian Journal of Construction Economics & Building Page (iii)form of electronic media, while e-business suggests a review and redefinition of business models linked to the greater use of IT. It is argued that the greater use of the internet and e-commerce, and the move towards the integration of applications will compel construction companies to re-engineer processes and introduce e-commerce systems. A series of business drivers and business designs are discussed in later sections of this paper.There are many benefits associated with the introduction of e-commerce systems, and these include increases in GDP, real wages and employment together with reduced transaction costs. It has been forecast that there will be more than 400,000 companies in Australia using e-commerce systems by 2005 (NOIE 2000). For the construction industry, the benefits will include increased project efficiencies, communications, control, and reduced design and construction times as well as reduced costs (BuildOnline 2000). In the past year, two local consortiums have been formed to develop and offer e-commerce applications, and this heightens the need for all companies to reflect on how they might engage with these new technologies
Integrate Ajax with Online Store System
[2] Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the
buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and
other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown
dramatically since the wide introduction of the Internet. A wide variety of commerce is
conducted in this way, including things such as electronic funds transfer, supply chain
management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data
interchange (ED!), automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection
systems. Modem electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some
point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies
such as e-mail as well.
Online Store system is one of the electronic commerce or ( e-commerce) system, but it is
integrated with Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). The system is built to fulfill the
requirement of market demands today in order to provide the fascinate way of doing shopping.
Everyone can use this system to for their businesses or it can be integrated with the current
system. When a small business expands to large one and need to use the internet to do
shopping, then the system is needed. It provides user with customization of the products to
place order of the items they like to buy and it will generate the shipping document for future
use. As it is the web-based system, so it can be used everywhere by just set it up on the server
Rebirth of Accounting Information Systems Curricula
Businesses’ increased reliance upon information technologies (for improved transaction processing, process redesign, electronic commerce, knowledge management, and other key activities) has led to new roles for corporate accountants, IT professionals, and internal and external auditors (Bell, et all, 1997; Elliott, 1994). Public accounting firms are attempting to adapt to these changes by identifying new business opportunities and developing new knowledge-management capabilities (Black, 1995). Frank Marrs, KPMG national managing partner of assurance services, recently stated: “We were offering a 100-year-old product, based on techniques that have not kept pace with the technology...” (Cheney, 1995). Marrs reports that the introduction of new, more broadly defined “assurance services” are accompanied by significant changes in strategy (e.g., broader scope of work) and organizational structure (e.g., more specialists; fewer hires of recent college graduates)
