Today few businesses operate in isolation of the Internet. For some this means no more than email and a marketing web-site but for the majority it means multi-channel operations. Multi-channel is an oft heard but seldom executed construct. Transaction processing online is an adjunct to core operations and often delivers a different consumer experience.
The move from alternate channel to multi-channel is complex both operationally and technologically. Traditional ERP and core processing systems have embraced multi-channel as an add-on not part of the core architecture. As such much compromise is required and importantly duality of data.
Information Technology is at the heart of any true multi-channel operation and an effective strategy key to successful implementation. As more business is executed at arms length over the Internet the control and flow of information as an holistic asset is paramount. Effective technology design using service orientation, coupling, data hubs, orchestration and usability must be planned and delivered.
