The Internet benefits the establishment of a global information system because this technology, unlike other means of communication, provides instant access to information in the forms of text, audio, images, video, and even software. Hence, the business communication and management of processes becomes easier, and coordination of work between different branches is more efficient. While there are challenges, such as country-specific problems, including Internet speed or regulations, for example, those imposed in China, one can argue that Internet technology will continue to evolve. From this perspective, more countries will have access to high-speed networks provided though satellites. Hence, by considering the limitations, such as different legal frameworks and technological development of countries, companies can leverage the instant access to information and applications through the Internet. Another important consideration is the safety of data, which can be addressed by applying authentication technology, for example, passwords or certificates.
Basing all global systems on Internet technology can have many benefits. However, some challenges exist, including the percentage of people who have access the Internet, the differences in standards, the level of skills that will allow the employees to use the Internet and related technology, and the regulatory issues. Despite this, one can argue that the Internet is the only technology that currently exists, which can effectively address global business challenges. By using this technology, managers can improve communication between different subsidiaries and improve cooperation. Therefore, the benefits of the Internet outweigh the challenges and issues that can arise. Overall, the use of the Internet provides many benefits to organisations, and the prospects of its development suggest that companies should base their global systems on Internet technology.
