A focus on a b2b e-commerce architecture
David Basanta Gutiérrez, Lourdes Tajes Martínez · 2000
The term electronic commerce is generally applied to any form of business transaction by means of telecommunication networks. This involves the use of information technology (such as electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic mail, transfer of money, etc) to link the functions provided by participants in this kind of commerce, rather than physical exchanges or direct physical contact. It also refers to the procedures, policies and strategies required to support the incorporation of electronic interaction to the business environment.
