e.Marriage – Brick ‘n Mortar, Click ‘n Order


Chair: Githesh Ramamurthy, President & CEO, CCC Information Services
Moderator: Carl Dill, Vice President and CIO, Time Warner, Inc.
Panelists: Wes Marsh, Attorney, Freeborn & Peters
Elizabeth Olig, President, e.Commerce Initiative, W.W. Grainger

Brick and Mortar companies are looking for varied ways to increase market penetration through new e.Business initiatives. As they are encumbered by time constraints that are unrealistic for in-house development staffs, they are increasingly willing to entertain partnering venues (e.g. Click ’n Order). These partnerships cut the cycle time dramatically from conceptual idea to full implementation (e.g. Bricks ’n Clicks).


e.Logistics – Delivery Models for e.Business

Chair: Don Saulic, CIO, North American Logistics Moderator: Jeff Groch, Director, Strategic Development, Syllogistics, LLC
Panelists: Lori Kesten, Director, Channels & Alliances, McHugh Software International
Robert Obee, Vice President and CIO, Roadway Express Inc.
Duncan Rarity, Senior Vice President, ACS,
Don Saulic, CIO, North American Logistics

Businesses need a logistics portal that is one-stop for all goods (perishables, furniture, etc…) to be picked up and delivered. The portal should allow for delivery using any mode (air, rail, sea, land, etc…) This solution should address the last 50 yards of product delivery. It should account for perishable goods and allow for 24 hour delivery to the purchaser.

Corporate America does not cozy up to the notion of open admission to electronic intrusion. If they keep the crime a secret they are susceptible to subsequent attacks. If they publicly announce the intrusion they are susceptible to a shareholder vote of no confidence. What to do?

Are all businesses in search of economies of scale in purchases, business generation, and reduction of overhead? The answer should be a web-based solution that attracts business to all participants in the portal as well as integrates the operations of each to realize maximum savings through purchases.

Business development in this e.Millennium. Is CBA, ROI, NPV or EVA enough? You’ll gain a clearer vision, more advanced thinking, and a greater understanding of e.ways to enhance your • COM business case. Hubbard Ross, a pioneer in the mathematical quantification and measurement of IT benefits, converting intangibles to measurable tangibles, and quantifying the value of information will lead this lively discussion.
