"Many business executives are still struggling to understand exactly
how the Internet can revolutionise their business and are nervous about
transactions," said chief executive of iod.com Andrew Main Wilson.
"We believe the iod.com brand will provide reassurance."
It will also offer an on-line jobs market, with posts ranging from
secretaries to chairmen, on-line networking and business news. For many
businesses the most significant development will be the bulk purchasing through
e-commerce that iod.com promises to arrange.
