Two things. First, what is called Enterprise Application Integration - functioning as a middleman between different business systems, such as financials, sales force automation, and helpdesk/support software.
Second, it facilitates business to business commerce through a couple of standards that are out there, most notably XML. Now - its not a plug and play solution - it's a development platform onto which you can build your business logic and interfaces to other systems. In addition, there are plenty of other customers out there with more offerings and more experience in these areas. I happen to work for one of them. http://www.inovis.com Roger ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
