Problems We Will Avoid

Pick up almost any book on how to connect a company to the internet or how
to
conduct business on the internet and you will discover that the majority of
text is
spent discussing hardware and software. The installation of hardware and
software
will be about 20% or less of your involvement time in introducing your
company to
the internet. Also, by the time a computer product is mentioned in a book,
the
information is already partially or completely obsolete.
