Suspended E-nimation?

trix_e asks: "I am Director of E-business at a medium-sized traditional manufacturing company (US$3B. annual revenue), my team and I are responsible for many of our e-commerce initiatives (selling on the web, CRM, etc.). My company, like most others, still has the PR wheels rolling full steam ahead, claiming undying allegiance to the concept of 'e-ing', e-business, e-commerce, e-process, e-verything... However I don't feel the same internal fervor for this as I did a year ago. I wanted to ask all of the good Slashdot folks what they were seeing from the inside of their respective organizations. more to the personal point, do you feel that as companies continue to belt-tighten, will groups like mine be the first to go (with no regard to actual value, but instead because we're viewed as non-essential)?"

"Is there still massive internal commitment to e-ing everything, or has the combination of the 'Dot-bomb' era, the down economy, and the notion among some circles that this was all just another fad like Re-engineering & TQM, taken the bloom off the rose?"
