What B2E (Business-to-Employee) is

An acronym for a portal that serves as a centralized starting point for everyone within a company or organization. B2E uses the Web to centralize a wide range of applications, services, content, and tools, and it allows employees to personalize these offerings in ways that make sense to them. Unlike an intranet, which is usually based on a top-down view of what's happening in the organization, a B2E interface can be customized by the employees, based on the services they use. That way, it can become the primary vehicle by which people do their work. Corporations may develop their own B2Es or may rely on one of the many B2E portal developers.

The meaning of E-business

Any business that is deriving revenue at least in part from something "electronic," usually on the Internet. It also refers to a strategy or service that enables a business to do more business because of Internet-related technology (see: Cisco, for example). The tendency for companies to put an "e" in front of a new product or service primarily comes from marketing departments that are trying to convince consumers they have an online strategy. The traditional brick-and-mortar firms that are starting an online component will use this marketing term to announce they are now online.
