ICT

E-business cannot be consummated in cyber space alone. It must be supported by real business operations in logistics, financing, credit, currency exchange, and settlement, among others. the SHOSHA have acquired an extensive storage of know-how and expertise in those areas through real business experience, and are fully and effectively exercising it to meet the various requirements as e-business partners. The ICT age is fostering a new set of criteria on the abilities of the SHOSHA, which were initially expected to be "skipped" as simple intermediators, but are now creating even greater appreciation as catalysts between real and virtual space.
