Dell Computer is known around the world for it's ability to offer user customized computer systems quickly and simply via the Dell website to both consumers and businesses alike. It represents one successful example of a large company that has moved completely out of the "old world" retail channels into the virtual retail marketplace that the internet offers. According to Maguire[1], Dell launched it's website as nothing more than a static web page in 1994. By 1997, it was the first company to ever record one million dollars of online sales.
The remainder of this blog is dedicated to examing the underlying architecture and e-systems that compromise Dell Computers e-commerce platform. It is my intention to start at the "forward facing" components and work backward in in order to exame the architecture that forms the underpinnings of an extremely successful e-commerce company.
