Recently Coined, yet already clinched, the expression “ e-business is business” speaks the truth.

Contrary to popular opinion, e-business is not synonymous with e-Commerce. E-Business is much broader in scope, going beyond transactions to signify use of the Net, in combinations with other network technologies and forms of electronic communication, to enable any type of business activity.

Few concepts have revolutionized business more profoundly thane-Commerce. E-Commerce is changing the shape of competition, the speed of action, and the streamlining of interactions, products, and payments from customer to companies and from companies to suppliers.

Infocraft provides total solutions starting from web design to efficiently manage e-business.

This language is based on an Object Oriented Architecture and its syntax is very similar to Perl and C. Being an open source language, a large number of libraries and extensions, to extend its core functionalities are available for download. It also offers excellent connectivity to many databases including MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, and Generic ODBC.
