It is likely that your initial Internet strategy focused on a few areas perhaps as a pilot or simply to do things in manageable pieces. Now that you're connected and have realized the benefits of the Internet in some core areas within your business, it's time to expand and take full advantage of the Internet, to integrate it across your entire business. And, to ensure that you remain competitive you'll want to periodically ask yourself questions such as,

• What information or tools can I add to my existing Web site to make it more valuable for prospects and customers to keep them coming back?

• What can I do to update my intranet to make it a more useful tool and retention tool for employees?

• How can I improve my extranet to strengthen my relationships with suppliers and partners?

• How can I build on my Web presence and begin conducting E-commerce on our site?

• Have I integrated my technology plan into my business plan to ensure the best results?
