Paper Abstract:	This paper describes the Seven important stages of a successful eTransformation methodology using the 7-E model highlighting the need to commence the E-transforming process by studying the external environment and the forces acting on an organization due to advances in IT and changing business needs. Equal priority is given to the e-readiness of the company and the e-readiness of it’s external partners such as the customers, suppliers, financial institutions, the market etc. Many other existing eTransformation models have been studied in order to get an in-depth knowledge of the existing models and their strengths and weaknesses. The proposed Seven E’s in eTransformation model is currently being tried and tested with a group of companies in the region of Western Sydney, Australia. The paper also highlights the issues such as importance of analysing the external environment when reengineering the business, business-IT alignment, implementing and managing systems restructuring, issues related to business re-engineering, e-readiness and the eSystems maintenance and policy issues.
