Answer to Question 1

Middleware is software that takes information about sales and inventory shipments from the electronic commerce software and transmits it to accounting and inventory management software in a form that these systems can read. For example, the sales module of an accounting system might be designed to accept the input of a telephone salesperson.
Larger companies usually establish connections between their electronic commerce software (that is, their catalog display, shopping cart, and transaction processing software) and their accounting and inventory management databases or applications by using middleware.

Answer to Question 2

A basic element of any large companys information system is its collection of databases. Most online stores that sell many products use a database that stores product information, including size, color, type, and price details. Most companies that have both online and physical operations use the same database for all functions of their businesses.
