Electronic Commerce (e-commerce or EC for short) is the end-to-end
digital exchange of all information needed to conduct business and is a
way of doing business better, faster and more effectively. Examples
include EDI transactions for the electronic exchange of orders and
invoices, electronic mail, archives, audit trails, and all forms of
records, including graphical images. Connected terms are Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI), Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Continuous
Acquisition and Life-cycle Support (CALS).
Since EC is the civil equivalent for the military-oriented CALS, it might
be useful also to include this acronym in your searches.
