Using Telecommunications for Business Process Redesign and to Seek Competitive Advantage

  1. An increase in the efficiency of operations
  1. Innovations in the marketplace
  1. Improvements in the effectiveness of management

Telecommunications may provide these values through the
following impacts:

  1. Restructuring business relationships
  1. Time compression
  1. Overcoming geographical dispersion
  • Telecommunications enable a firm to transmit raw data and information quickly and accurately between remote sites.
  • Telecommunications enable an organization with geographically remote sites to function, to a degree, as though these sites were a single unit. The firm can then reap benefits of scale and scope which would otherwise be unobtainable.
  • Telecommunications make it possible to create systems which restructure the interactions of people within a firm as well as a firm's relationships with its customers. Operational efficiency may be raised by eliminating intermediaries from various business processes.
