Increase in Economy Rate using Modern Business Tools

E-Commerce would mention the use of electronic data transmission to implement or enhance any business process. Some people use the term internet commerce to mean electronic commerce that specifically uses the internet or the web as its date transmission medium. As important part of electronic commerce understands how firms can use it to adopt to change. The business world is changing more rapidly now than ever before.

Interlaboratory EQA programmes realised in 2014 by Centre for Quality Assessment in Laboratory Medicine

In 2014 years the Centre for Quality Assessment in Laboratory Medicine within the 8 programmes to assess the reliability of laboratory test results completed 28 interlaboratory surveys, which were attended by 1658 medical diagnostic laboratories. Unfortunately we were unable to extend the offer of evaluated components, or the frequency of surveys carried out so far, mainly for financial reasons. As part of its own activities the electronic data transmission system has been introduced to further surveys too – coagulation and cardiac markers. This allowed the participants to transfer the results of determination of controls and collection of assessments via the Internet, which translates into shorter development time data. To implement to the electronic system remained only general program of chemical survey. In the past year in all conducted surveys a slight increase of acceptable results in each criterion were observed. In immunochemical surveys on an experimental basis were introduced for laboratories an annual summary assessment of 4 results submitted in 2 surveys a year.

Enterprise Information Systems and B2B E-Commerce

While the overall investment in information technology (IT) decreased somewhat during the first several years of the 21st century, B2B e-commerce technologies have expanded at an increasing rate (Lim & Wen, 2002). The expansion of B2B e-commerce has been technologically based on enterprise-wide information systems (EISs) that allow electronic data transmission and execution of transactions in a secure and efficient manner. Since B2B e-commerce is Internet-based, the EISs used to support B2B e-commerce must be Internet capable. The primary language of the Internet, Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML), is not well-suited for transmitting data and executing transactions. Consequently, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) was developed to facilitate electronic information exchange applications, including many applications related to B2B e-commerce. As initially conceived, XML had a number of constraints, particularly in the area of data integrity and security, however, these constraints have gradually been overcome. This chapter reviews the objectives of using XML in B2B e-commerce, reviews the technical structure of XML, and discusses ways that security and privacy can be enhanced while engaging in B2B e-commerce.

Enterprise Information Systems and B2B E-Commerce

Although the overall investment in information technology (IT) decreased during the first few years of the 21st century, B2B e-commerce continued to expand at a rapid rate (Lim & Wen, 2002). The expansion of B2B e-commerce has been based to a large extent on accounting and enterprise-wide information systems (EISs) that permit electronic data transmission and execution of transactions in an effective and efficient manner. Since B2B e-commerce is Internet based, the EISs required to support B2B e-commerce must be Internet capable. The primary language of the Internet, Hyper-text Mark-up Language (HTML), is not well-suited for transmitting data and executing transactions. Consequently, Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) was developed to facilitate a wide range of electronic information exchange applications, including many applications related to B2B e-commerce. XML also allows legacy data to be accessed through the Internet. As initially conceived, XML had a number of constraints, particularly in the area of data integrity and security; however, these constraints are being overcome. This article discusses the objectives of using XML in B2B e-commerce, reviews the technical structure of XML, and discusses ways that data integrity can be maintained and security enhanced while engaging in B2B e-commerce.

Assessing the General Data Dissemination System-What Has Been Accomplished After Ten Years, and Where Do We Go From Here?

This paper reviews the role of the GDDS in helping developing and emerging market countries improve the dissemination of macroeconomic and sociodemographic data. It considers whether the GDDS, in the way it was designed about a decade ago and enhanced along the way, has fulfilled its purpose. Further, it considers whether the GDDS remains relevant to its current and prospective members, given ongoing global integration, increasing emphasis on transparency and governance mechanisms, and increased reliance on the Internet and electronic data transmission.
