  4. D

Cevap

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is an information technology tool that enables computer systems of separate business entities to transmit standard commercial documents electronically without manual data input, enhancing speed and accuracy in business communication.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business scenario
The scenario describes automated, computer-to-computer exchange of structured business documents (invoices, purchase orders) between corporate entities.
Identifying the key characteristics (computer-to-computer transmission, structured business documents, standardized format, lack of human intervention) isolates the specific ICT tool.
2
Evaluate telecommunication technologies against the requirements
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is specifically designed for structured, inter-company document transfer between automated systems.
Other options like retail payment terminals (EPOS), retail consumer sales (B2C), or legacy voice networks (PSTN) do not fulfill inter-organizational structured document transmission.
