Stay on the ball by learning about the very latest

developments in e-business and B2B operations

As the internet continues to revolutionize the way in which global business is being conducted, the

true challenge for financial institutions lies in combining clear business aims with technological

know-how to achieve a profitable e-business operation.

Of critical importance is fitting an e-business strategy into your firm's long-term business goals whilst

maintaining competitive advantage and customer loyalty in a cyberworld. Despite the obvious

advantages of reducing inefficiencies and eliminating human error by automating online transactions,

there are still many obstacles to overcome for the effective implementation of e-business.

This brand new event from Waters Conferences has been specifically researched and designed to

tackle and overcome the complexities of implementing a successful e-business strategy. The agenda

offers a choice of tracks addressing both the business and technology requirements for implementing

e-business and B2B operations, offering practical solutions from an unbiased perspective.

By attending this conference, you will have the

opportunity to:

● find out what others are doing in the e-business arena

● learn more about how organizations are being restructured to incorporate e-business strategies

● improve electronic connectivity for establishing B2B operations

● make informed decisions about how best to adapt your firm's architecture to e-business and B2B

operations

● achieve B2B goals through competent website content management

● examine how m-commerce can be integrated into an e-business strategy

● assess the comparative advantages of ECNs and ATSs for securities trading

Who should attend

This event is targeted at all professionals involved with e-business operations within financial

institutions on both the buy-side and sell-side of the financial services industry. The conference will
