According to Forrester Research Inc., fourth-quarter online sales are projected to be in excess of $8 billion, up from $3.5 billion in the same period last year, due to the rapid emergence of new online shoppers. Hitachi's suite of services — known collectively as the Hitachi iSuite™ — is designed to help companies take advantage of the tremendous online commerce opportunities lying ahead.
