Electronic commerce or ecommerce is a term for any type of business, or commercial transaction, that involves the transfer of information across the Internet. It covers a range of different types of businesses, from consumer based retail sites, through auction or music sites, to business exchanges trading goods and services between corporations. It is currently one of the most important aspects of the Internet to emerge.
Ecommerce allows consumers to electronically exchange goods and services with no barriers of time or distance. It has expanded rapidly over the past five years and is predicted to continue at this rate, or even accelerate. In the near future the boundaries between "conventional" and "electronic" commerce will become increasingly blurred as more and more businesses move sections of their operations onto the Internet.

In the UK, the value of Internet sales to UK households rose fourfold to £21.4 billion between 2002 and 2005 according to the National Office of Statistics, and is growing at a phenomenal rate! Ecommerce offers many benefits for businesses of any size. In fact, it gives smaller businesses the opportunity to compete on even footing with their larger competitors. Link popularity spreads easily over the Internet, whether it be from search engine rankings, email recommendations or word of mouth.
For many companies, retailers in particular, the advantages of an ecommerce solution mean a vast and inexpensive opportunity to improve efficiency, service and overall customer satisfaction.
