An important factor for raising competitiveness of business organizations in BSEC countries, both within the community and within the global market, is the integration of information systems that support business. The BSEC countries are at different stages of development, which reflects on the technological level of information systems used by them and gives rise to problems with their integration. The paper examines the most popular software technologies and standards which help realize the B2B integration as an electronic data interchange (EDI) - the ebXML, Roseta Net, OAGIS and Web services. The new trends in developing this integration using the Cloud computing concept are outlined.References
