How to get notified on new order, to communicate with my ERP?

Hello,
I am evaluating BVC for use in a greek eshop and I would like to ask if there is any way I can be notified with events when a new order is created or for other events similar.
The way some other eCommerce solutions do it is to call a prespecified Web Service. Is there something similar offered in BVC?
To rephrase the question... I need to communicate the fact that a new order was created to my ERP and I don't want to make database comparisons every once in a while to see if a new order has come up.
They way I see it from my little analysis on BVC is that I have to create one (or more?) new workflow item that goes inside e.g. "Payment Complete" and when it communicates with the way I want with my ERP.
Based on that description, can you give me a rough estimate of what coding (and other customizations) needs to be done to integrate such a procedure with BVC? I really need this answer, since this will be the second of the two deciding factors for my decision after evaluation.
Thank you in advance,
Vasilis Toulias

For those unfamiliar... I looked it up.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an enterprise-wide information system designed to coordinate all the resources, information, and activities needed to complete business processes such as order fulfillment or billing.
ERP system supports most of the business system that maintains in a single database the data needed for a variety of business functions such as Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Financials, Projects, Human Resources and Customer Relationship Management.
An ERP system is based on a common database and a modular software design. The common database can allow every department of a business to store and retrieve information in real-time. The information should be reliable, accessible, and easily shared. The modular software design should mean a business can select the modules they need, mix and match modules from different vendors, and add new modules of their own to improve business performance.
Ideally, the data for the various business functions are integrated. In practice the ERP system may comprise a set of discrete applications, each maintaining a discrete data store within one physical database. |
