Book description

The world of e-commerce is changing rapidly. Some ten years ago, e-commerce was mostly defined as participating in an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) initiative.

Today, e-commerce means much more than just EDI: it means supporting interactive Web sites; it means enabling the communications with multiple exchanges; it means using XML and the Internet to conduct interactive business-to-customer and business-to-business communications.

This IBM Redbooks publication explores some of the possibilities using products from WebSphere Business Integration V4.1 and WebSphere Business Connect V1.1 product suites.

For more up-to-date information about WebSphere B2B, please refer to the following books:
