5.2 B2b Electronic Commerce

We use the internet in our company so that other companies that help us work can communicate and work with us. We need to do this in the most secure way possible. So we have them log in through our VPN so we can access each others servers on a secure private network.

5.1 Critique Your Competitor's E-Commerce Website

Me and my group choose to rate a competitor's website: www.puppydaycare.com
1. Website should offer something unique- 2/5 (cute puppy photos)
2. Website should be aesthetically pleasing- 1/5 (very boring not much to look at)
3 Website should be easy to use and fast- 2/5 (pages load quickly but hard to find what you need)
4.Website should motivate people to come back- 1/5 (i wasn't motivated at all the place they have looked dirty)
5.Website should advertise online- 1/5 (hard to find)
6.Website should give the ability to be learned form- 1/5 (Nothing for them to learn form most likely)

4.4 Entity Relationship Diagram

This diagram represents a Version of a entity relationship diagram. It shows this through Invoice that has such features as customers key, product code, date, etc.
We also see the Customer section on this Entity relationship diagram. Customers are instrumental to a company's success so this particular company focused in on inserting their customers basic info into their system.
Which we can then relate customer to product by seeing what that particular customer purchased in the past giving that company the ability to relate through a type of key system.
