BUSINESS AND THE INTERNET

The Internet

The internet is now recognised as a cheap and efficient means of business-to-business communication, providing any organisation, whether a sole trader or a multinational, with access to a world-wide potential audience/client base. With this recognition comes an ever-growing demand for a simple but secure way of using the internet to transact business.

Business-to-business communication

Business-to-business communications can be effected through the internet with productivity and cost savings on time, fax transmission, post and courier expenses, to name but a few. Ordinary e-Mail, document transfer, purchase orders/invoicing and payment instructions suddenly become instant communication rather than an extended paper trail.

The Credentials Solution

There are recognised concerns about business transacted on the internet. Credentials is designed to provide a cheap and flexible solution to business communication and to concerns about security and reliability through secure and trusted identification of eCommerce correspondents. This identification also addresses the fundamental question, which applies to any commercial transaction, of which organisation can be sued should the transaction run into problems.
