B2B Trading Platforms Enable Supply Chain CollaborationYankee GroupSeptember 14, 2006 12 Pages - SKU: YANL1351473 |
| One of the most important investments a company can make is in optimizing its supply chain. This really means improving relationships with trading partners to increase collaboration and information sharing. Depending on the imbalance in the relationship, this can be a risky business decision for a trading partner and a complicated endeavor for the IT department. Enterprises are moving beyond core electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions to B2B collaborative processes. Enterprises must move along the supply chain collaboration frontier to stay ahead of their competitors. B2B trading platform providers realize it is not about EDI or XML; rather, it’s about sharing processes across a supply chain and with trading partners to gain efficiencies through collaboration and visibility. To achieve that goal, B2B trading platform providers offer necessary services that reduce the complexity of managing the trading community. |
