Offshore e-commerce
and e-business inevitably imply transactions
with other parties, whether these be customers,
clients, partners, suppliers, employees or prospects.
There is nothing about an offshore location
as such which makes for differences in the array
of systems and software tools needed to communicate
with them, other than the fact that an offshore
operation is obviously in a different place;
but if the functions involved in communicating
are going to be performed offshore, then questions
of capacity, security, maintenance and management
arise (see last item).
The systems elements
needed may include:
Customisable
front-end 'offer' pages
On-line catalogues
Sales process
components including shopping basket, order
form, registration form, multi-currency converter,
tax calculator
'Exchange'
or 'auction' management software
Links to remote
payment processing facilities
Communication
with a customer or contact database
Reporting of
customer behaviour
Links to accounting
and credit management systems
In most jurisdictions, offshore e-commerce is
not yet established on a substantial scale,
and it will not be possible to source such system
components locally. In some of the leading jurisdictions
there are firms, or combinations of firms, offering
off-the-shelf turnkey solutions for some of
the more basic commercial activities, but these
are likely to be re-branded solutions bought
in from major systems suppliers.
