Evaluating the Opportunity
As recent history has shown, the internet is not a ticket to success for every business idea. It is often difficult to evaluate the bottom-line benefits of an internet initiative. Financial services companies need to consider a wide variety of factors when deciding whether (and how) to begin to do some of their business online:
-
Does your business need a web site at all? (if you don't already have one)
-
Which aspects of your business could realize dramatic cost savings if moved online?
-
What things would you like to do that simply can't be done without the internet, but might be able to be done with it?
-
How can you calculate the fixed and marginal costs associated with moving a given project online, so that you can determine whether it will save or cost your company money?
-
How will the internet change the competitive landscape, and what should you do to anticipate these changes now, rather than feel compelled to react to them later?
