INTRODUCTION
An IOS is a collection of IT resources, including communications networks, hardware, IT applications, standards for data transmission, and human skills and experiences. It provides a framework for electronic cooperation between businesses by allowing the processing, sharing and communication of information. IOS are also known as extranets.
