How It Works: Generate, execute and fulfill ecommerce transactions
“What makes ecommerce hum? Dozens of technologies and companies, most of which you’ve never heard of. These are the so-called ‘enabler’ companies, the firms competing fast and hard to build the infrastructure for ecommerce in both the retail and business-to-business universes. From the front end to the back, they make the hardware, software, services, tools, and transactions platform that make the wheels of ecommerce turn. Enabler companies with unsexy names and services drive the process.”
