For example a company could be using Siebel as the CRM package, Cognos as the BI solution and there could be a legacy system. Apart from the internal third party systems a company also need to interface with its partners (Customers and Vendors).

This is achieved by using Industry standards such as ANSI X12 (American National Standards Institute) and EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce, and Transport).
