As the world leader in direct computer systems and a premier supplier of Internet infrastructure technology, Dell Computer Corporation is widely recognized for its efficient build-to-order business model. Everyday, customers around the globe order customized systems from the dell.com website. Three years ago, Dell began searching for ways to achieve greater efficiency in its operations. The company wanted to strengthen its supplier alliance and shorten the time suppliers would need to provide components to Dell from two or three days to six hours.

The site provides suppliers with an 'eye' that can follow their material as it winds its way through Dell's operations.
