Multi-Vendor Integration Protocol

Have you ever been to a farmer's market with your mom or dad? There are different people selling different things, like fruits, vegetables, and even homemade crafts. Now, imagine if each person selling something had their own language and way of doing things. It would be confusing and hard to buy anything!

This is kind of like how computers from different companies sometimes have trouble talking to each other. The multi-vendor integration protocol is like a special language they can use to understand each other better. It helps different companies' computers work together and share information.

Just like at the farmer's market, the multi-vendor integration protocol helps different companies who sell things (like software or computer systems) communicate with each other in a way that makes sense. This makes it easier for businesses to work together and share data, just like how it's easier to shop at the market when everyone speaks the same language.
