Amazon Web Services (AWS) QuiskSight business intelligence (BI) program may have different costs based on the number of users and the format of use. Personal edition costs $9-12 per user per month based on the mode of subscription (ACG Technical Editors, 2021). Enterprise edition is $18-24 per user plus the additional costs for user sessions (ACG Technical Editors, 2021).
The costs of developing the infrastructure in-house would depend on the scale of the enterprise and its need, making it impossible to answer this question with certainty.
Organizations competing with Amazon in the BI platform arena include Microsoft (Microsoft Azure), Google (Google Cloud), IBM (IBM Bluemix), and others (ElMalah & Nasr, 2019).
One may define e-commerce as entrepreneurial activities that rely on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) facilitated by the Internet (Kwilinski et al., 2019).
Much like any other business activity, e-commerce involves the steps of designing, modeling, executing, monitoring, and optimizing business decisions, which ultimately results in restarting the cycle from the beginning.
There are several primary business benefits of an e-commerce operation for a retail organization interacting with its customers:
- Decreased costs as compared to conducting interactions through other methods
- Swifter and more efficient communication with customers
- Easy availability and low threshold for the customers to be able to contact the company
Web 2.0 improved the e-commerce buying experience by enabling greater user participation through the new usage of ICT for customer interaction, discussions, review sharing, etcetera (Kwilinski et al., 2019).
Discrete manufacturing refers to using well-established and pre0desigend formulas to make a product. Process manufacturing refers to refers of devising formulas necessary to create the product in the first place.
