Chapter 1. Business-to-business
concepts
This chapter presents an overview of B2B, including its nature, and its evolution
over time. It also discusses the concept of Enterprise Application Integration
(EAI), which is commonly confused with or mistaken for B2B. It compares EAI
and B2B, by examining the similarities and differences that make them separate
concepts and processes.
