The fundamental business benefit of the Web

It empowers the individual while reducing the burden on the enterprise.

Fundamental to the World Wide Web is the ability to provide anyone anywhere instant access to information, processes, tools and resources. This empowers individuals by helping them learn more quickly; think faster on their feet; improvise, improve and produce better results; and generally be more productive and self-sufficient.

And, while the same information, processes, tools and resources are accessed by many different people over time, the cost to the enterprise to define and disseminate occurs only once. And, once processes, information and resources are captured, organized and distributed, the enterprise can operate more efficiently — and more profitably.
