Business to business

 

These sites include dynamic programmatic links between arm's length businesses (where a trading partner agreement might be appropriate). One business is able to discover another business with which it may want to initiate transactions.

In supply chain management, for example, data comes largely from legacy applications and often from multiple sources, thereby exposing data consistency. Security requirements are equivalent to online shopping. Transaction volume is moderate, but growing; transactions are typically complex, connecting multiple suppliers and distributors.
