 INTRODUCTION

 Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, refers

to the buying and selling of goods or services over the internet.
This can involve a wide range of transactions, including retail
sales, business-to-business transactions, and online auctions. E-
commerce allows consumers to browse and purchase products
from anywhere in the world, at any time of day or night, without
the need to physically visit a store or meet with a seller. It has
revolutionized the way people do business, providing
convenience and accessibility for both buyers and sellers. E-
commerce can be conducted through various platforms such as
websites, social media, and mobile applications.
ELECTRONIC AND MOBILECOMMERCE APPLICATION

Electronic commerce (e-commerce) refers to the buying and

selling of goods and services over the internet, whereas mobile
commerce (m-commerce) involves the use of mobile devices such
as smartphones and tablets for conducting transactions.
 Technology infrastructure required to support E-comerce
and Mcommerce

The technology infrastructure required to support e-commerce and m-commerce involves

several components that work together to enable online transactions. Here are some key
elements: 1 Web Server: A web server is a computer that delivers web pages and other content
over the internet. It's the backbone of e-commerce and m-commerce systems as it hosts the
website or mobile application and handles the requests and responses to and from the user. 2
Database Management System (DBMS): A DBMS is used to store and manage data related to
customer orders, product details, user accounts, and other relevant information required for e-
commerce and m-commerce systems. 3 Payment Gateway: A payment gateway is a secure way
to process online transactions, allowing customers to pay for products and services using their
credit or debit cards, bank transfers, or other payment methods. Payment gateways must be
compliant with industry standards and regulations to ensure secure transactions
 Transaction processing systems

Transaction processing systems (TPS) are computerized systems designed to

facilitate and manage transactions within an organization. These systems are used to
process, store, retrieve, and update data related to the transactions that occur within
the organization. TPS are widely used in various industries such as retail, finance,
healthcare, and manufacturing. They play a critical role in ensuring the smooth
operation of businesses by providing real-time information and supporting decision-
making processes

Enterprise system

An enterprise system is a large-scale software application designed to support or

automate the operations of an entire organization, including departments, business units,
and external stakeholders such as customers and suppliers. Enterprise systems are
typically composed of multiple modules or subsystems that are integrated to provide
seamless data and process flow across the organization.
 knowledge management

Knowledge management is the process of capturing, organizing, storing, sharing, and

utilizing knowledge and information within an organization. The goal of knowledge
management is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization by
ensuring that knowledge is available to those who need it, when they need it.

Overview of artificial intellegence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer programs and

algorithms that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as
visual perception, speech recognition, decision making, and natural language
processing. AI involves creating intelligent machines that can reason, perceive, and
learn from data in ways that are similar to human beings. There are different types
of AI, including rule-based systems, machine learning, deep learning, and natural
language processing.
