Emmerce, moreover, will give you the opportunity to join a "wired" community interested in sharing electronic commerce experiences -- good, bad and ugly. Updated fortnightly, our feature articles, technology analyses, commentaries, technology tutorials and whiteboard forums illuminate proven ways to plan, design, build, manage and extend your electronic commerce systems. And, most important, they will highlight potential potholes that could derail your organization's best intentions.

Emmerce is aimed primarily at IS professionals and business managers in sales, marketing, customer support, procurement, product development, inventory management and supply chain logistics who together are playing key roles in crafting electronic commerce strategies in their organizations. Because of the mulidisciplinary nature of the audience, Emmerce gets as technical as need be, but you don't have to be an MIT graduate to understand what we're talking about. (We will strive to define all geeky terms beyond what's generally understood in the business world.)

To help guide you along, we make extensive use of hyperlinks that allow for quick access to related points of interest within Emmerce, as well as to other online resources.
