Exchanging business

B2B solutions using
Web services and EDI
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 Redbook explores some of the possibilities using
products from WebSphere Business Integration V4.1 and
WebSphere Business Connect V1.1 product suites.
