The electronic wonder called the Internet has completely changed how business communication is done in all industries on a global scale. It is perhaps the most well known, and the largest implementation of internetworking, linking hundreds of thousands of individual networks all over the world. The Internet has a range of capabilities that organizations are using to exchange information internally or to communicate externally with other organizations. Internet technology is providing the primary infrastructure for electronic commerce, electronic business, and the emergence of the digital firm. Almost all organizations use the following in one form or the other. Electronic mail, also know as email, is the main force of communication on the Internet. The World Wide Web, also known as web pages or web sites, allow a virtual storefront that is accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Through these websites, organizations can have Intranets and Extranets. These provide information to people internally and external to the organization, with specific limitations, that may have requirements to access it. These functions all encompass the technology and the basis of the World Wide Web and the Internet. The World Wide Web is at the heart of the explosion in the business use of the Internet. It is a system with universally accepted standards for storing, retrieving, formatting, and displaying information using a client / server architecture. Client / server computing are processes split between computers. Both are on a network, but each machine is assigned functions it is best suited to perform. The client is the user point-of-entry for the required function and is normally a desktop computer, workstation, or a laptop computer. The user generally interacts directly only with the client portion of the application, often to input data or retrieve data for further analysis. The server provides the client with services. The server could be a mainframe or another desktop computer, but specialized servers are often used in this role.
