According to Muffatto and Payaro, companies which move their
            
 operations to the internet have done so by way of taking full advantage of
            
 the technology which is available at any given time.  When the industrial
            
 revolution occurred, businesses that did not convert their manufacturing
            
 systems to an assembly line, and continues to manufacture products by hand
            
 were at a competitive disadvantage to those who made the investment in
            
 assembly line machinery.  Fro example, a shop which manufactured
            
 automobiles one or two at a time could not stay competitive with the Henry
            
 Ford Company which was able to produce dozens of completed vehicles each
            
 day.  Many qualified automobile companies ceased to operate soon after
            
 assembly line technology came to the auto industry.

 which have leverages their information management in company intranets can
            
 access total Customer relationship information at the touch of a button
            
 from any sales office, at any time.  Customers who receive this kind of
            
 service will soon leave the non-digital vendors, if for no other reason
            
 because of the sales and service accuracy they receive.  Information
            
 systems play a dynamic role in today's business organization. In order to
            
 become a profitable player in a worldwide market, BPS needs powerful
            
 information and communication systems (Laudon, p.5).
            
       The backbone of their information management structure is the
            
 internet.  The Internet has become the number one tool for collecting and
            
 disseminating sales and marketing data because information on the internet
            
 can replace costly printed brochures, catalogues, and other promotional
            
 literature.  Information which is availability via the internet is
