Executive Summary
Electronic data interchange (EDI) technology gained wide acceptance by providing basic electronic document exchange capability that was crucial to enterprises in many sectors. This technology was well suited to dealing with highly structured data that did not change frequently. However, today's B2B scenarios require more flexibility, especially when dealing with growing demands for support for process improvement efforts across the entire value chain. This is leading to increased adoption of multiple XML-based B2B options. Enterprise architects should strive to create a B2B support infrastructure that is designed to take advantage of both old and new technology, as each can provide unique value in meeting the full range of external integration needs.
