"As shown in the experience of SMEs under Quezon.gov.ph, e-business in the Philippines has been redefined. And, sometimes, the best solution is not always the most high-tech but the method that actually works and meets business goals."
--Joey Alarilla (E-Business Made Easy)
For the first time ever, The Philippine Internet Commerce Society (PICS) put together a step-by-step guide for small and medium enterprises wishing to explore the vast possibilities in the internet. Cutting through jargon, utilizing eye-catching
visuals and providing real-life examples from the Philippines, the book tackled head-on the common concerns and fears of entrepreneurs about e-business.

The book aims to help entrepreneurs find the appropriate Internet strategy for their business and learn from the experiences of other SMEs. It is envisioned to be an instructive and indispensable resource from the authority in e-commerce in the Philippines.

I am also happy to announce that the Quezon eCommerce site (www.quezon.gov.ph) figures prominently in this book as a good example of an eCommerce initiative by a local government.

This will soon be available in selected branches of "National Bookstore" and"Fully Booked". This can also be purchased via the office of PICS in makati ( info@pics.org.ph )

The official launch will be sometime mid September during the organization's general membership meeting.

Attached in this post is the front cover of the book which incidentally was endorsed by the following:
