Abstract
The love affair geoscientists have had with their PCs leads many to think that a do-it-yourself approach can carry us into the dotcom era. However, the secret to the success of major online businesses is their mastery of the `backend' the logical, physical and human infrastructure that forms the foundation to their web sites. These businesses know that their customers are best served by focusing on the hard bit, the backend. Attractive web pages get customers in, but what keeps them returning is the quality, quantity and timeliness of the content behind the web site. Most successful dotcom companies have restructured, or built from the ground up, to provide the best possible backends. Geological surveys must do likewise to survive.
