Despite the phrase, spoken out by the management of ?Technosila? and other big companies ?We do not need Internet?, it has changed the Russian market in the core of it. Russian RETAIL CUSTOMERS like the easiness and accessibility of the information in Internet. And they choose the best supplier in the Internet before the purchase. About 50 percent of retail consumers use Internet in their choice of a good or a seller. That?s why competition in the market has become more difficult. You should not mix up the terms ?to obtain the information about the good? and ?to purchase goods by Internet? ? which almost never occurs in Russia due to total mistrust of people. That?s why the customer gets into the Internet or asks his contacts to do this, obtains the address of the seller and goes to purchase the good.
So, the Internet has become a very important REAL (not virtual) part of Russian market. And it should be considered and used in your corporate system for negotiating your RETAIL and WHOLESALE clients at most. My corporate system works with the Internet in the most effective and careful way.
?Bookkeeping? Corporate systems such as ?SAP?, ?Oracle? or ?Axapta? were developed in 70-ties, when the Internet didn?t exist yet. And they are still trying to avoid using it according to its insecurity as they explain (this is absurd). They still don?t understand that the market has changed. They are trying to attach their old morally outdated systems (without Internet) to the contemporary market (with Internet). What really happens is that they (the programmers) are trying to invent the VIRTUAL (not real) ?state? and sell it to you. Certainly, there is no any ?program miracle?, but there is an old and outdated system.
What?s the way, you are going to communicate with your retail and wholesale clients? Either by Internet or in the old way (fax, e-mail ? the information, you cannot process). That is the defining item in making choice about which corporate system to use.
