Integration of e-business Tools
Today, no single e-business tool available for the AS/400e or any other platform addresses
the entire spectrum of potential e-business users and applications. It is a vast and rapidly
evolving area.
IBM, Lotus, and IBM partners are working toward a set of coherent, integrated solutions that
extend the AS/400e value proposition: simplicity through integration . By making it feasible
and desirable to integrate multiple e-business applications on a single physical computer
system, the AS/400e system reduces both the cost and complexity of deploying and
managing e-business solutions. As our AS/400e customers move to address the entire range
of applications, we will work to provide frameworks and design guidance in these areas:
• Linkage between different e-business offerings . For example, how do you tie unique or
high-priority orders entered electronically through a Net.Commerce application to
workflow notification and e-mail order acknowledgement applications in Domino?
• Linkage between e-business solutions and LOB applications . For example, how do
orders entered through a Net.Commerce application flow to your back-end order entry
and invoicing system?
Refer to the AS/400e e-business Handbook , SG24-5694, for a more complete description of
products and features of the AS/400 system in the e-business world.
