Abstract
This paper analyses six factors that are expected to facilitate EDI-based or XML-based business-to-business integration. Following the technology-organisation-environment framework, the paper focuses on one technological, four organisational, and one environmental factor. An e-business framework is a standard for business documents, business processes, and messaging in business-to-business integration. Six hypotheses on the use of EDI-based or XML-based e-business frameworks are based on the literature. These hypotheses are tested using the logistic regression analysis. The data involve 3619 European companies. Large numbers of enterprise information systems and employees in the company facilitate the use of e-business frameworks. A high volume of sales and educational level of employees in the company facilitate especially the use of XML-based e-business frameworks. Moreover, if the company has primarily other companies as customers, it is more likely to use an e-business framework. The number of sites in the company has no effects on this use.
