E-support of non-electronic business
The purpose of this business model is the creation of extra advertising channels designed to promote products / services online and simplify business relations between the company itself and operating / potential partners. Among other things, this model makes customers and partners consider the company as a progressive business unit using modern technologies. The concept is the creation of a corporate web site containing data on the company, its goods and services, current prices, licenses, and more. In this case, e-support does not bring profit in its pure form. Though, it supports for real.

Besides, this model brings possibility to implement and tune the online ordering system and delivery service. Unlike previous model, this e-constituent of business participates in outcome formation.
