• B2B stands for business to business. Some businesses only provide products or services to other businesses.
• B2B is frequently used as to describe different types of transactions and services between two businesses.
• Selling B2B selling applications allow a business to sell to other businesses through an electronic transaction. Some companies choose to sell through a private website while others may use an electronic selling service, or e-commerce site, run by another business.
• B2B buying applications involve a business purchasing goods and services from another company via an electronic transaction. This can also be done via an e-commerce site.
• E-commerce is the way shopping and selling is done on Internet. Credit cards can be used to purchase services and products in virtual stores. Marketing Businesses can also use electronic means to market their services and goods to other businesses.
• Email promotions and electronic newsletters are commonly used to promote B2B services.
• "Business to Business" markets, in which sellers sale to the other businesses instead of final consumers and Buyers purchase to resale the goods after finishing to end-users. An example of it is wholesale business in which Wholesalers buy from manufacturers in order to resell the products to "retailers".
![Page 4: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
B2B: Business-to-business (B2B) describes commerce transactions between businesses, such as • between a manufacturer and a wholesaler• between a wholesaler and a retailer. Contrasting terms are business-
to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-government (B2G). • B2B branding is a term used in marketing.• The overall volume of B2B (Business-to-Business) transactions is
much higher than the volume of B2C transactions.• The primary reason for this is that in a typical supply chain there will
be many B2B transactions involving sub components or raw materials, and only one B2C transaction, specifically sale of the finished product to the end customer.
• For example, an automobile manufacturer makes several B2B transactions such as buying tires, glass for windscreens, and rubber hoses for its vehicles. The final transaction, a finished vehicle sold to the consumer, is a single (B2C) transaction.

Form Based Interface Replicates a hard copy paper form. Specified areas for the data which may have helpful
instructions (usually by clicking a ? mark by the text box). –E.g. boxes for input of coded material like the date or the sex
of the customer, and areas to be filled in with textual information.
Can contain radio buttons and/or drop down lists. A cursor moves to the next box to be filled in. Highlighted boxes make it clear where the data is to
be inserted User can be forced to enter data before being allowed
to continue. Checks can be made to make sure input is sensible
for that box before moving on to the next.

Data Representation an Processing
![Page 74: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Computing Systems Data Usually the computing systems are
complex devices, dealing with a vast array of information categories
The computing systems store, present, and help us modify:– Text– Audio– Images and graphics– Video
![Page 75: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Digital vs. Analog (1) Computing systems are finite machines. They store a limited
amount of information, even if the limit is very big.– The goal, is to represent enough of the world to satisfy our
computational needs and our senses of sight and sound. The information can be represented in one or two ways:
analog or digital. – Analog data is a continuous representation, analogous to the actual
information it represents. • In example, a mercury thermometer is an analog device. The mercury rises in a
continuous flow in the tube in direct proportion to the temperature.– Digital data is a discrete representation, breaking the information up
into separate (discrete) elements. • Computers can’t work with analog information, so a need do digitize the analog
information arise. • This is done by breaking the analog information into pieces and representing those
pieces using binary digits
![Page 76: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Digital vs. Analog (2) Why digital signal?
– Both electronic signals (analog and digital) degrade as they move down a line. The voltage of the signal fluctuates due to environmental effects.
– As soon as an analog signal degrades, information is lost. Since any voltage level within the range is valid, it is impossible to know that the original signal was even changed
– Digital signals jump sharply between two extremes (high and low state). A digital signal can degrade quite a bit until the information is lost, because any value over a certain threshold is considered high value and bellow the threshold is considered low value
Answer: Signal Integrity can be maintained!
![Page 77: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Analog Signal Degradation
• You can still retrieve the information from a reasonably degraded digital signal
• Periodically a digital signal is reclocked to regain its original shape. As long as it is reclocked before too much degradation, no info is lost.
![Page 78: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Binary Representation (1) Why binary representation (as suppose to
decimal or octal, etc..)?– Because the devices that store and manage the
digital data are far less expensive and complex for binary representation.
– They are also far more reliable when they have to represent one out of two possible values.
– Because the electronic signals are easier to maintain if they carry only binary data.
![Page 79: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Binary Representation (2) One bit can be either 0 or 1. Therefore, one bit can
represent only two things. To represent more than two things, we need
multiple bits. Two bits can represent four things because there are four combinations of 0 and 1 that can be made from two bits: 00, 01, 10,11.
In general, n bits can represent 2n things because there are 2n combinations of 0 and 1 that can be made from n bits. Note that every time we increase the number of bits by 1, we double the number of things we can represent.

Data Formats - How to Interpret Data Meaning of internal representation must be
appropriate for the type of processing to take place:– i.e. Images & sound: have to be digitized
• Images – need detailed description of the data, how color is represented at each data point
• Sound – need sampling rate Proprietary formats
– Unique to a product or company– E.g., Microsoft Word, Corel Word Perfect, IBM Lotus
Notes Standards
– Evolve two ways:• Proprietary formats become de facto standards (e.g., Adobe
PostScript, Apple Quick Time)• Committee is struck to solve a problem (Motion Pictures Experts
Group, MPEG)
![Page 84: Fundmentals of ICT in B2b on Telecomms Platform](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/554b7adfb4c90561588b477c/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Why Standards? They exist because they are:
– Convenient – sometimes the time to market is very important whenever trying to finish a product, therefore existing standards may be used to save time elaborating own protocols and interfaces
– Efficient – most of the standards are put together by committees with a wide experience in the specific area
– Flexible – usually the standards allow for manufacturer or OEM specific extensions
– Appropriate – address a specific problem in a specific domain
Allow communication and sharing of information Allow computing systems and software to
interoperate (at both hardware and software levels) Sometimes standards are arbitrary and have some
“blast from the past” (due to historical evolution)

Audio Information Representation (1) Sound is perceived when a series of air
compressions vibrate a membrane in our ear, which sends signals to our brain
A stereo sends an electrical signal to a speaker to produce sound. This signal is an analog representation of the sound wave. The voltage in the signal varies in direct proportion to the sound wave
To digitize the signal we periodically measure the voltage of the signal and record the appropriate numeric value. The process is called sampling
In general, a sampling rate of around 40,000 times per second is enough to create a very good high quality sound reproduction

Audio Formats Several popular formats are: WAV, AU, AIFF, VQF,
and MP3. Currently, the dominant format for compressing audio data is MP3.
MP3 is short for MPEG-2, audio layer 3 file. Compressed formats usually employ both lossy
and lossless compression. – Analyzes the frequency spread and compares it to
mathematical models of human psychoacoustics (the study of the interrelation between the ear and the brain) and it discards information that can’t be heard by humans.
– Then the bit stream is compressed using a form of Huffman encoding to achieve additional compression.

Digitized Images and Graphics
Digitizing a picture is the act of representing it as a collection of individual dots called pixels.
The number of pixels used to represent a picture is called the resolution.
The storage of image information on a pixel-by-pixel basis is called a raster-graphics format.– Several popular raster file formats including
bitmap (BMP), GIF, and JPEG.

BMP Raster Image Example
The smiley face in the top left corner is a bitmap image.
When enlarged, individual pixels appear as squares.
Each pixel is described by a value for red, green and blue.
