1.1: BACKGROUND

HISTORY OF E-COMMERCE

E-commerce was introduced about 40 years ago in its earliest form. Since then,
electronic commerce has helped countless businesses grow with the help of new
technologies, improvements in internet connectivity, added security with payment
gateways, and widespread consumer and business adoption.
With the wide adoption of the Internet and the introduction of the World Wide Web in
1991 and of the first browser for accessing it in 1993, most e-commerce shifted to the
Internet. More recently, with the global spread of smartphones and the accessibility of
fast broadband connections to the Internet, much e-commerce moved to mobile
devices, which also included tablets, laptops, and wearable products such as watches.
Ecommerce has come a long way since the CompuServe launch in 1969. Changes in
technology have certainly driven ecommerce growth, along with global circumstances.
Ecommerce has evolved in many ways since its start, and it’s changing the way we
live, shop and do business. Let’s dive into the history and the future of ecommerce.

Basis E-commerce
Reduce Data Error Doesn’t involve data at multi points.
Data goes directly from one computer
to another Computer without involving
human being.
Reduce cost Initial cost of E‐commerce is
very high as compared to paper
process but over a long period of
time, it is very effective.
Reduce Paper work E‐commerce data in the electronic
form make it easy to share it
across the organization.
Reduce Processing E‐commerce reduces the
cycle time processing cycle time of complete
cycles as the data is entered the
system, it is simultaneously
Processed.
Reduce labour No need to maintain large
number of employees, instead
there arises the need to manage
them more efficiently.
Traditional System
The buyer and seller create
purchase order on their system
and send it to their trading
partner. The receiver/seller then
re‐enter the same information on
the computer, which will create
data error.
Time is directly linked to saving
the money. There is repetition of
same work at every level and it
involves a lot of wastage of time
and if the error is arisen that will
lead to more wastage of money.
It requires re‐entry of data at each
level and requires lot of time. So
the peak time is wasted in re‐
entering and printing of the
Reports.
When the buyer order in a paper
format, the data is re‐entered in
to the Sellers’s computer and
then only processing can take
place which is a time consuming
process.
Need to maintain a large number
of employees because one‐third
of labour force is employed to
fulfill orders from customers.
