E-Commerce Strategies by Sun Microsystems

The document discusses the opportunities presented by the rise of e-commerce, or the "Dot-com Age". It notes that companies are rethinking their business models to provide online access to information anytime, outsource non-core functions, and deploy solutions faster. Significant investment in IT and the web by companies is expected to capitalize on the growing internet and increase web spending from 12% to an estimated 27% of IT spending by 2003. The Dot-com Age is driving businesses to develop integrated, massive-scale computing infrastructures capable of continuous, real-time operations.
