| The
Extended Enterprise is a concept that promotes the use of application
level communications between companies to enable near real-time
integration. Thus, applications at one company become extensions
to the applications at their trading partners and vice-versa.

The Extended Enterprise
leverages the Service Network
as infrastructure to move information between parties. In addition,
Business Dialects are used
to give the transmitted data a context. These dialects may leverage
a process orchestration
(or web service orchestration)
language to enable conversations via long
running transactions.
