B2B and B2C solutions: E-Commerce has evolved from customers conducting basic transaction on the web to a complete retooling of the way Partners, Suppliers and Customers transact. Using the Internet, now you can link dealers and suppliers online reducing both the lag time and the paper work. You can move procurement online by setting up an extranet that links directly to vendors cutting inventory carrying costs and becoming more responsive to customers. You can streamline your financial relationship with customers and suppliers by web enabled billing & payment systems.

We can help you to maximize your business ability to deepen and secure trading relationship with your customers and suppliers, and to prepare you to quickly take advantage of new opportunities in an increasingly complex, competitive and unpredictable environment. Taking advantage of the E-Commerce is much more than simply opening up a new online. 

XML and Web services

And more recently, the Internet has opened up yet another paradigm of application development with XML and Web services. The network tiered approach of the past allowed applications to be created for a particular business, but the beauty of XML is that applications can now interoperate regardless of the platform or the business served. Web services and XML have changed the way developers look at application development, and together they create a gateway to allow applications to act more as interoperable services rather than independent islands.

The concept of applications as a service is possible because XML couples the productive aspects of network tiered computing with message-oriented concepts of the Web. These two methods of computing meshed together form the newest stage in the evolution of application development called Web services, which allow developers to leverage from existing sources of data and services over the Internet.

Developers can then call up Web APIs from various locations and be routed across the Internet to a service residing on a remote system. A service such as Passport enables a developer to provide authentication for an application from a remote service. Also, since XML is the standard for building Web services, the issue is no longer which platform to choose or develop on. This allows business to concentrate on core functionality rather than on technology.
