The INTESA solutions make the integration of company processes possible with three distinct interaction levels:

• Basic Integration: batch communication mode, normally created using EDI technology (Electronic Data Interchange). This is a reliable and highly consolidated mode that today is the support base for e-commerce services (70% of the B2B transactions).
• Basic Collaboration: interaction mode that uses the Internet as a low cost communication channel. It has allowed many small businesses to access the "business integration" services through the use of a simple Web interface connection. The "Internet EDI" and "Web EDI" services fall within this area (9% of the total B2B traffic).
• Full Collaboration: emerging interaction mode; allows complete "end to end" integration of the business processes on an inter-company level. It uses open standards recently put in the ICT (XML, Web services; BPM; PKI, ...) and uses the Internet as a communication network. This mode allows collaboration platforms to be created on a 'virtual company' level, connecting applications and users with specific workflows, exceeding the boundaries of individual companies in order to create a common business process.
