Customer Reviews & Comments
Understanding B2B is a very useful book. Even after the time of the great ecommerce collapse of 2000 and the current economic conditions business will be conducted more and more over the Internet. In fact many companies are looking at the abilities of the Internet to improve their efficiency and control cost during these tough times. Understanding B2B starts with an extremely useful primer on the roots on electronic commerce. This is useful because as Understanding B2B suggests there are huge investments in EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) standards. Large companies and financial instructions have been using EDI for years. EDI will continue to grow into the near future due to the large investment that corporations have made and the momentum that is creates. UnderStanding B2B also looks at the supply chain and logistics that have made ecommerce so important to businesses. The book aslo offers a practical look at some of the landscape surrounding ecommerce such as out sourcing, security, ecommerce and the law. The book also looks into the future to see where ecommerce is heading. The future is heavily based on the standards that are developing around XML. The books points out that the web craze of the late 90's was really a user visiting a site and doing transactions on that site. This is person to application (P2A). XML is enabling application to application (A2A) that will allow automation of supply chains and logistics to middle market companies (rather then Global 1000 companies and their biggest suppliers). If you are in a middle market company ecommerce and XML are coming. This book will help you plan, prepare and succeed with your ecommerce initiatives.
