E-commerce is a new style of business transaction processing system that is computer-based instead of paper-based. Transactions are completed via the Internet instead of face-to-face. E-commerce not only brings the global marketplace more benefits and conveniences, but it also reduces energy costs and pollution. This paper presents a real life case study from Taiwan. The case study was done at SinoPac Securities Corporation. This corporation was a strong candidate for conversion to e-commerce because it had a complete paper-based model with huge numbers of operators, papers, and office unities’ resources. SinoPac Securities provided a new strategy of improving technology to fit its future business plan so that it could efficiently hold the loyalty of customers. The research findings show that selecting the right time to convert a traditional commerce to e-commerce is a significant factor for the success of e-commerce. .
