At IBS we believe e-Commerce should be easy to implement, use and maintain. The IBS Three Tier Application Model makes implementation and maintenance of any enterprise-wide system much simpler, because all subsystems (such as e-Commerce), use a single database and set of business logic.

IBS Bookmaster e-Commerce works directly in real time with the existing IBS Bookmaster database and business logic so you can very quickly implement it without the need to use an additional database. This allows it to provide consistent, accurate, up to date information without the errors and inconsistencies associated with maintaining separate systems and databases.

Because data is accessed in real-time any changes made to the core IBS Bookmaster database or business logic are immediately reflected in the e-Commerce system. This means you will get the same response to an inquiry (for example a discount or price) whether you inquire via e-Commerce or via a standard IBS Bookmaster inquiry.

For example if a price, discount, product description, catalogue listing or any other information is changed on the core system, the change is reflected immediately in the e-Commerce system. By working with a single database it also means the risk of error is reduced as your data only has to be maintained in one place.
