infrastructure
E-Commerce Overview
• Primarily Web-Based
– HTTP and HTTPS are transport mechanisms
– SMTP used for notification and verification
purposes
– FTP used for download of soft goods
– EDI is also quite substantial and becoming
“web enabled”
E-Commerce Overview
Some Examples from the Census Bureau

automatic teller machine (ATM).
B2B: Business-to-Business
• Organizational Buying and Selling
• Procurement Models

– buyer pull: browsing catalogs and adding to
shopping cart
B2C: Business-to-Consumer

transactions to take place
– not unique to online transactions
• but happens in nearly real-time
Consumer-to-Consumer
• Auctions
– seller push
• buyers bid
• Listings
– seller push
– buyer pull
– tend to be free or as service to get visitors to a
site.

optimistic projections

contributed to 35% of real economic growth
– yet accounted for only 8 percent of U.S. GDP
E-Commerce Summary

productivity gains

Problems with .com
