| Q: How is the web changing your business? |
 |
More than 80 percent of our sales are done over the Internet today, either through Internet e-mail or our Web site. Since we deal with companies all over the world, we spend many hours between our project engineers, sales and marketing personnel, quality and analysis and operational people on the Internet. In the past, our printed circuit board (PCB) customers would mail blueprints to us. Now they can condense them into Gerber data files and send them over Internet e-mail.
From there, either our own engineers open them up or, if they are too complex, we e-mail them to our manufacturers overseas, who quickly turn around prices and quotations to our customers. This saves at least three to five days getting quotes to customers, which lets them bid on their projects must faster. If we receive large Gerber data files with PCB drawings that are so huge that it may take about 90 minutes to transmit to China by e-mail through standard telephone lines, our Cox Communications cable service does it within 20 seconds.
Customers also send applications for quotations for printed circuit boards over our Web site.
The bottom line is that our business would not have grown as well as it did from 1998 through 1999 if not for the Internet. We expect another tremendous growth in the year 2000.
