SK Holdings Company Ltd:Alibaba into the international domain name registration to focus on SMEs in e-commerce

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Alibaba has been implemented for SMEs and the development of B2B e-commerce website, Alibaba, Taobao have gathered a large number of SMEs to network users and users. Alibaba is due to promotion, has been a large part in a number of businesses started B2B, B2C, C2C website marketing network, “e-commerce world,” an interview with a company manager, the manager for e-commerce for SMEs on the role of A very clear. He believes that, after more than 10 years of development, e-commerce can help domestic small and medium enterprises to go out of the country step by step. The surface, deep e-commerce seems to be very high, not suitable for SMEs. In fact, the first e-commerce for SMEs bring the gospel. For example, some foreign trade enterprises to do business experience to apply for quotas, import and export permits or participate in the tender, and other areas. The tender will be held before the Government, many enterprises will have at least chiefs, assistants and accountants together to participate in the tender scene, take a few days of work. The resulting increase in the cost of intangible business costs is more important to waste a lot of time. Now, foreign trade enterprises can conduct online bidding through the Internet, permits and quotas for the import and export permits. This has saved the company’s costs and improve the efficiency of the foreign trade enterprises.

But do the site is more suitable for overseas access to a misunderstanding: Although the construction site is in English, so for customers around the world here, but put the domestic却把site on a server. From domestic exports to the global broadband few, and most of the relevant departments are taking, the results can be assigned to businesses to use broadband for exports even less. According to statistics, if a customer waiting for a Web site when the time is too long, he will lose interest on this site, so that even a potential customers disappeared. Do business in overseas markets to foreign sites on the server, has become the consensus of foreign trade enterprises.

Secondly, a professional, attractive, practical business website is another face of SMEs, SMEs in the face of the Internet. Now a lot of procurement, customers have become accustomed to on-line search of relevant information, comparative shopping to determine the final after Which companies more strength, Which enterprise products, services more suitable to their own. Under normal circumstances, when a business site to do fine professional, customers will have the view that this business is strong, tend to work with, otherwise not.

In addition, the domestic SMEs have been gradually accustomed to find in the B2B site, and marketing skills of a single, released on the website of the convergence of product information and the increasingly low prices very good explanation.

The global e-commerce experts Connaught China’s first domestic network as a mature global e-commerce platform, carefully prepared for foreign trade enterprises on the quality of the space overseas, foreign trade enterprises in the overseas sites high-speed, stable operation. So that the world can quickly access your site, the site allows you to bring you more orders! Foreign trade enterprises to the global Internet is no longer distant dream.

B2B e-commerce and other forms of a certain shortcomings, the SMEs need to have their own domain names, and their own websites. First, the previous existence of many traders on the premise that the information asymmetry, and the Internet to break the emergence of this situation. Massive information but also the emergence of defects, many foreign trade enterprises to put in front of the massive sale of information are physically and mentally exhausted. SMEs are facing all kinds of information before it has enough, open the page, you can find a mass of resources, no worries about the SMEs do not matter. And many enterprises are used to such conditions, the day may spend most of the time of transaction information to repeat the screening. If so, business is busy is not a good thing. Because from the information value, the 100 Inquiry information likely than an accurate information.

Have to say that Alibaba is indeed familiar with the network’s potential development needs, only for the international domain name registration, the market for the next scheduled hours of cake. However, SMEs for their own sites, not only require a domain of space, making the site ask for more, especially the many businesses owned foreign trade business, but also the need to establish their own Web site for foreign customers here and in this regard is Ali services Baba can not provide.

Has established a strong network operation and management system as well as a mature software development capabilities in China for the hospital network more than 20,000 enterprises to provide fast, stable, secure the site and parked-mail services. China Connaught distribution network in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Dallas (USA), Houston, Texas (United States), Los Angeles, California (United States), San Francisco, California (United States), Washington, DC (United States), Seattle, Washington, (the United States ), 10 large cities in the server group has become the medium and small enterprises build global e-commerce system, the market knocked the door to a new economic engine.

Alibaba now become an international domain name registration, its purpose is obviously directed at the majority of its user community needs to stop, in the category of B2B site opened shop may be very suitable for business-class individual, but for SMEs Is not enough, they need to have their own domain names, and their own websites. It is precisely to see this demand, coupled with its network of influence to Alibaba, for the international domain name registrars it is so natural.

SMEs in the inside of such business enterprises with foreign trade, construction sites than the general seems to be the needs of SMEs more urgent. Because as the main customers are overseas market, it is impossible for enterprise customers Qiqiu site visits. Thus, a good site has become a window to display their products overseas customers, publicity corporate philosophy and maintaining corporate image. But no longer in foreign countries through the exchange of Jian in the form of trade, are using e-mail form. This site has become exchanges with foreign customers, the best way to trade.

Recently, ICANN (the international domain names and IP addresses assigned Organization) recently released by the official website of the latest international domain name service provider list, of which China accounted for 13. It is worth mentioning that on November 6 in Hong Kong officially listed on the Alibaba (1688. HK) has become China’s first ICANN approved 13 international domain registration service providers. It is understood that the 2007 audit ICANN adopted by the international domain registration service providers already have five in China, including the beginning of the first certification of buildings were renamed network technology - renamed the Chinese, then released by the Xiamen in resources, this In addition to “Name 2 Host” outside the Chinese mainland by ICANN accredited to the international domain name registration has reached 12.
