B2B Helps to Establish an “ERP Firewall”


How B2B Completes ERP

ERP/B2B integration

projects require numerous

document maps to be

created and maintained on

an on-going basis

Implementing Document Maps

Highly Available Platform

ERP systems need to be

able to receive information

from external trading

partners on a 24/7 basis

Trading Partner Connectivity

ERP systems need to be

connected to numerous

trading partners using

many different global

connectivity standards


How B2B Completes ERP

Managing Trading Partner Communities

ERP/B2B integration

projects require fast

on-boarding of trading

partners, anywhere in

the world

Proactively Monitoring Data Quality

All external data needs to

be checked for accuracy

and conformance before

entering an ERP system

The complex nature of

ERP/B2B integration

projects requires skilled

resources to keep these

projects on schedule

Program Monitoring

Customer Examples of ERP/B2B Integration
