terstruktur. Tidak ado search engine. Hanya ado informaqsi tentang produk. Tidak
terhubung kepada ‘stock price’. Tidak ado komunikasi dengan secara internal di dalam
perusahaan.

mencari informasi tentang perusahaan, ado fasilitas bertukar pesan di dalam
perusahaan
 Phase 3 : “Trying e-commerce” – perusahaanmencoba melakukan transaksi secara
online tetapi sistem tidak terkoneksi secara langsung dengan ‘real database’ dari
perusahaan. Tidak ada interaksi langsung ‘back-end system’ perusahaan dengan ‘back-
end system’ perusahaan lain.
 Phase 4 : “Doing e-business” – web site terhubung dengan intranet perusahaan ,
dapat dilakukan pengambilan informasi dari basisdata internal, digunakan ‘secure
protocols’ pada transmisi data antara perusahaan dengan pelanggan atau perusahaan
lain.
 Phase 5 : “Pervasive e-business” – penggunaan semua peralatan yang menggunakan
chip (cellular phone, car, etc.) dalam mengakses informasi dari perusahaan untuk
melakukan e-business
 Phase 6 : “One world, one computer” -- all chip-based devices are interconnected and
create one huge information resource. The devices are able to interchange any type of
information on an object-oriented level. Applications are transparent to these devices.
Users won’t know where the answer to their problems come from.
