ebusiness (e-business) – a Definition and Guide to Solutions from iWay Software
eBusiness (e-Business), derived from such terms as "e-mail" and "e-commerce," is the conduct of business on the Internet, not only buying and selling, but also servicing customers and collaborating with business partners. The sign of a good eBusiness is not just being able to sell books, but knowing how many books you've sold, and to whom, and also to answer questions like "what books are they buying next?"
iWay Software facilitates the implementation of e-business by accelerating business integration. How does iWay accelerate business integration? By simplifying it dramatically – eliminating custom integration code, and replacing it with the straightforward assembly and configuration of off-the-shelf components. iWay Software provides everything necessary to achieve real-time, near-real-time, or batch integration more quickly and easily than competing tools and the "roll-your-own" approach.
iWay also provides highly efficient standard connections to over 300 back-office systems and data sources, enabling organizations to quickly and easily leverage technologies such as IBM's Websphere™, Microsoft's BizTalk Server™, XML, and Java™.
