The explosive growth of the Internet has given us more buzzwords, acronyms, over-valued IPO's, market valuations, enormous hype and controversy that, in reality, has really advanced only a handful of businesses and industries today. As cynical as it sounds, it's true. And don't take our word for it. Just check the current economic indicators, the stock market and the associated dot com fall out.

This may sound odd coming from an Internet technology company whose main source of revenue has been Internet technology development and that has consulted dot com startups, Fortune 500, and medium sized businesses since 1995. The fact is, these emerging technologies and immature attempts by early adopters have proven to be nothing more than failed attempts at fixing age-old problems.

But don't get me wrong; the Internet is a powerful business tool. The operative word here is "tool". Internet technology, currently made up of an alphabet soup such as eBusiness, eCommerce, eCRM, ERP, Supply Chain Management, EAI, B2B, B2C, and on and on, is very confusing. And all the software still does not get the job done for everyone. That's because companies are putting the technology first instead of realizing that technology is just a series of enabling components. They are part of a total solution that can yield results, if and only if, they are aligned with sound strategic business initiatives and applied properly.

Trendy solutions have never proven to be anything more than a business band-aid or a quick fix. At K.Tek, we have a passion for business first and technology second. We use technology as a business enabling tool and nothing more. We have understood and applied this fundamental concept for years. The critical drivers for business in the Internet age are as basic as they originally were before the Web "was invented":

  • Revenue Generation yielding growth
  • Communication Flow yielding profitability
  • Delivery of Product or Service yielding competitive advantage

If your technology solution isn't adopted top down, designed from a strategic level, integrated enterprise wide, then you don't have a solution, you have a short term project that may or may not yield any economic gain.

K.Tek's leads its clients through a multidiscipline approach to analyze your industry and business, identifying objectives and critical success factors aiding in your economic growth. Our mission is simple, and consequently hasn't changed since our inception. We are dedicated to making your business truly thrive in the "new economy", or whatever they are calling it this month.

Dedicated to our client success,

Kimberly During, CEO and President K.Tek International
