Abstract: An approach to commerce-related data management is described that allows multiple heterogeneous enterprise application systems to utilize a centralized data store for managing and storing data generated and/or used by the enterprise application systems. One implementation of the commerce-related data management system includes a data store, business logic and Web services logic. The data store stores commerce-related data. The business logic is configured to access the commerce-related data stored in the data store. The Web services logic is configured to receive service requests transmitted by multiple heterogeneous enterprise application systems over a network. The business logic is further configured to perform one or more operations upon the commerce-related data stored in the data store responsive to receipt of the service requests by the Web services logic.
