What is ​​​​​eCommerce?

​Online sales are generally called eCommerce, although it can take many forms. Most consumers are familiar with the term as a reference to shopping online, but eCommerce can also be company to company sales of services or equipment, as well as online transactions in real estate or even online stock and commodities trading.

In learning and development, eCommerce represents a new way for companies to derive an income stream from courses developed in-house. Making successful training tools available to other businesses can bring a significant amount of notice in your field as well, since it makes your brand synonymous with the quality training offered.
