E-BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE

NEED FOR STANDARDIZATION

 e-business Infrastructure

e-business infrastructure is the collection of

platforms, networks, products, applications,
databases and the business rules governing
the flow of data and work among them, both
internally and to external systems.
 e-business Infrastructure

Integration of components into cohesive

systems is achieved with customization, pre-
built adapters and gateways, programme to
programme inter-operation technologies, web
services, distributed object protocols, cross
platform development tools and languages.
 e-business Infrastructure
Objective

• Comprehensive integration of enterprise

partners to streamline business processes
and to develop effective collaboration
amongst them for utilizing the extended
trading network to add value.

‘For effective collaboration, interoperability

is the theme for standardization.’
 e-business Infrastructure
Interoperability
• Technical interoperability consists of the common methods
and shared services for the communication, storage,
processing and presentation of data.

• Semantic or business interoperability includes discovery and

collaboration aspects, including work flow and decision-
making transactions.

• Process interoperability.
Interoperability is a prerequisite for devices and platforms that
‘talk to one another’ and services that are ‘portable from
platform to platform’.
 e-business Infrastructure
Standardization

‘Effective e-business infrastructure can

only be created by standardization of
interoperable solutions.’
 e-business Infrastructure
Standardization
• To enhance the deployment of services that
are interoperable and platform-independent.

• To make e-business interactions more

secure.

• To facilitate e-business solutions that are

adaptable to user needs.

 What is required?
• Stakeholders’ consensus on the key e-
business infrastructure standards.
• Efficient infrastructure to maintain selected
standards for local needs.
• Higher level of stakeholders’ participation in
standardization and utilization of standards.
• Accessibility and use of e-business
infrastructure standards.
 BIS Plan of Action
• Identify opportunities for the activities
to work in harmony, avoiding conflicts
in developments.
• Find ways to use what others have
developed.
• Identify a common desired subset
rather than lowest common
denominator of objects and related
mappings between objects.
• Work towards common single flexible
solutions except which are truly
different from industry to industry.
