• Space Problem- one of the main implementation problem is space problem. Internet most of the time runs out of space. Therefore, allocation of limited space causes a barrier for organizations. The case is quite similar for Burberry Group too. They also faced similar space related problems. They were unable to publish important information for the customers. The data and information were insufficient some times. The limited space creates problems for the consumers who want more information about the product and services of Burberry (Gupta 2014).
• Security and privacy- internet is now not a safe tool. It cannot publish information all the time because there are hackers and gamblers are present in internet. The information can be misused. The criminal activities nowadays have become more. Cyber crime is coming as the new mode of crime at a fast rate. The unwanted users can easily copy the information published in a public domain.
• Transaction related problems- Many times transaction process is failed. Similar things happen for Burberry also. Thousands of transactions are taking place within a second that is why system sometimes face enormous amount of pressure. Transaction process has many steps and to do it minutely it takes a lot of care. The money transferring issues are mostly affected by the damage. The method is time taking for transaction, it is a common problem faced by the producers like Burberry Group (Chong and Chan 2012).

• The process has helped to reduce the standing in the queue system
• The customers can get accessed to remote stores located in remote areas
• Marketers offer coupons for the online buying which give access through purchasing procedure by accessing the websites of the sellers. Now the customers can pay through debit card and credit card. Cash back or extra discount can be achieved by paying through card.
• Now there is no need for physical presence at the time of buying any products. Customers can now order their desired items from the website of the company. Any service can also be ordered in a similar way. It has helped to minimize the time.
