Non-Technical Limitations
Cost and justification The cost of developing an EC in house can be very high, and mistakes due to lack of experience may result in delays. There are many opportunities for outsourcing, but where and how to do it is not a simple issueIn order to justify the system, one needs to deal with some intangible benefits which are difficult to quantify.
