Most Australian small and medium business on-line

are on the Internet, but you might be surprised to know just how high the figure is. According to a new Sensis survey, almost 90 per cent of these businesses are connected to the Internet.

E-mail is the most popular tool, as might be expected, but the number of businesses with Web sites also rose sharply.
The Internet has clearly established itself as a major business tool, not just for sending and receiving e-mail (cited by 94% of respondents), but also for research (90%), purchases (55%) and receiving payments (44%). Even if you're already on the Internet, are you making full use of it?
Welcome, and thanks for reading One Step Ahead, which will keep you up-to-date with the latest Internet news and how it affects your business.
