Q

This method allows each sub-system to have just one single interface to communicate
with all the other sub-systems connected to the common interface layer (i.e., with ten
systems, there are only ten connections)

Q

is the systemto-system exchange of business documents in a
standard electronic format between business
partners intended to replace paper-based
documents (e.g., invoices or purchase orders).
Hence, this type of integration is vital for
companies looking to enable paper-based
business transactions to save time and avoid
costly errors resulting from manual processing
