Business-to-Business
Communication
XML simplifies business-to-business
communication:
1.The only thing that is to
be mutually agreed upon is the XML vocabulary that will be used to
represent data.
2.Neither company has to
know how the other's back-end systems (platforms, operating systems, programming languages) are
organized à no extra technical burden & keeping the privacy.
3.XML-based solution is
scalable: If there is an addition of another partner, there is no need
by the host
company to interact with the systems of the new company.
