Business to Business Integration
Trading Partner Integration for Mid-Size Enterprises
For many organizations today, new technologies and an ever-increasing drive to improve business efficiency have made e-business a critical part of their success. Internet-based business has been shown to lower ordering costs, reduce processing errors, improve customer service, and increase sales across a broad range of industries and markets.
Many organizations want to trade over the Internet but cannot because the entry cost is high. These businesses need cost-effective, easy-to-implement, and flexible business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions.
Added to these difficulties is the problem that electronic document interchange (EDI) solution providers only deliver a framework for the transmission and flow-management of inter-business documents. This leaves the complex task of transforming those documents and integrating them with back-office applications to understaffed IT teams or to costly systems integrators.
Cost-Effective and Manageable B2B Integration
Pervasive Business Integrator provides both mid-size and large enterprises with an integration platform for rapid design and maintenance of processes that translate e-business documents and manage their flow between business systems and those of trading partners.
Business Integrator handles business trading requirements by efficiently translating complex e-document structures and integrating the structures with back-office business systems, reducing the need for large investments in dedicated servers and ebusiness technologies.
