Friday 14 May 1999 - The secrets of success for electronic commerce
sites on the Web are revealed this month by the Australian Computer
Society (ACS) in its national magazine, Information Age.

Functionality, answering consumers� fears about security and thorough
testing are revealed as some of the paths to success. But some major
Australian companies are shown to have missed these clues.

"Spending a lot of money on a high profile Web site does not necessarily
guarantee success," said ACS Publications Board Director, Tom
Worthington, who also chaired last year�s Information Industry Outlook
Conference on E-commerce for the ACS.
