IND to Deliver Quality E-Business Enablement Services Through Partnerships

Parsippany, NJ (May 12, 2003) -- Who is taking responsibility for sharing the knowledge and warning companies of the consequences that might come from failing to take action to become e-business enabled? Who is advising CEOs of the dramatic economies, efficiencies, cost reductions and revenues gains that can come from business processes supported by e-business technology?

While the world is in the midst of an e-business revolution that is changing our personal and business lives, socially, politically and economically, their remains a void of knowledge in many companies about this critical issue. There are only limited sources of knowledge that CEOs can tap for the information they need to respond to this revolution.

As most business leaders concede the inevitability of e-business technology being the key to the future success and profitability of their companies, few have a source of knowledge they can go to to help prepare for this inevitability. IND has changed that.

"Knowledge is Power" is only a true statement if the knowledge is accurate and it is acted on. The "e-business revolution" is changing the way business is being conducted. However, there is a void of accurate knowledge available to CEOs about this critical topic making it difficult for them to make use of this knowledge to capture the power of e-business technology. IND is changing that through the IND E-Business Enablement Institute and partnerships to get the knowledge to those who can capitalize on it, CEO/P&L level executives.

IND has created the IND E-Business Enablement Institute as a source of knowledge for CEOs. To help disseminate this important knowledge, IND is working with partner companies and firms that have a vested interest in the financial well-being of their client companies to get this information to CEOs. Accounting firms, financial management firms, public relations firms, advertising firms, commercial lending institutions, banks, professional service groups and industry associations are all organizations that have an interest in the financial well-being of their constituents, and, indeed, are dependent on the financial well-being of their clients and members to sustain their relationship. Indeed, the financial failure of a client means the end of their business relationship.

All of these organizations can profit from making their constituent CEOs aware of threats to their company’s future, and helping them access knowledge that can lead to an e-business enablement strategy that can generate improved company performance and increased profitability.

Dr. John T. Whiting, the Director of E-Business Enablement Services for Parsippany based IND, notes, “There is a natural synergy between the professional services offered by these types of companies and the e-business enablement knowledge IND can provide to companies that will need it.” “IND knows that it will be difficult getting the message out to companies in need without the help of partner companies who share an interest in the future success of these companies,” Dr. Whiting observes.

IND has already conducted a number of knowledge transfer seminars exclusively for CEO and P&L level executives with partners. The recent event co-sponsored by The Videre Group, one of New Jersey’s accounting firms got rave reviews from those who attended.

In a tight economy and unpredictable global political environment companies are seeking ways to sustain there profitability as revenues remain flat or are in decline. E-business enablement has proven to be the savior for many companies that have discovered that the automated outcome can lead to cost savings of up to 40 %, improvements in order processing and customer service that have increased accuracy while reducing the time it takes to provide service, all important steps to maintaining profitability in difficult times.

“Knowledge is power” is an oft quoted statement that is not necessarily correct. Knowledge only produces power when that knowledge is accurate and is properly deployed. Those companies seeking to improve the competitive power of their companies are finding the information made available by the IND E-Business Enablement Institute or one of IND’s partners to be an important first step in deploying e-business technology to their advantage.
