Enterprise Ireland launch eBusiness guide for SMEs
Enterprise Ireland has launched an eBusiness Handbook designed to give practical advice to companies planning to embark on eBusiness and IT projects.
The handbook, targeted primarily at SME managers, focuses on business, people, organisation and management, rather than technical issues. It is designed to be fully understandable even by those with very little knowledge of IT or eBusiness.
The handbook is based on the experiences of approximately 80 companies who participated in the Enterprise Ireland's eBusiness Acceleration Fund. This initiative was funded through the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment by the Information Society Action Plan Fund and supported the use of eBusiness by Irish companies.
Commenting on the handbook, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Harney, said: "This Book is the culmination of the real life experiences of SME's who availed of the eBusiness Acceleration fund over the past two years and is intended to act as a snapshot of good practice in eBusiness. Each of the case studies tells a story of how good e business practice was developed in response to the different challenges and needs of SME's. I hope the lessons learned by these companies will help other businesses in making that vital leap to eBusiness."
The CD version of the handbook can be ordered free from www.openup.ie
The contents of the CD are also available on line at www.enterprise-ireland.com/practicalebusiness
