Simply integrating B2B applications with ERP applications is no longer enough to maintain an edge in increasingly global and competitive marketplaces. Companies that have implemented ERP systems to streamline business operations through automation are recognizing they need to advance to higher levels of efficiency. These new frontiers involve realizing efficiencies system-wide, not simply at isolated points in specific processes. Capturing the fruits of greater efficiency requires a new mindset as well: an approach that considers evolving the business environment to ever greater levels of efficiency through carefully considered and implemented refinements rather than through wholesale revolutions and replacements.

With a global business environment comes new challenges: collaborating with trading partners and customers, minimizing the cost of conducting business, and providing real-time operating capabilities. Recent research indicates that organizations that effectively communicate mission-critical business information to partners and customers can achieve the following competitive advantages: 15% less inventory, 17% better perfect order fulfillment, and 35% shorter cash-to-cash cycle times.

Learn the three integration initiatives that market leading organizations such as Volkswagen, Whirlpool Corporation, and Siemens are implementing to surpass their competition.

• Platform Consolidation: Eliminate redundant software, hardware & operational costs
• Partner Enablement: Reduce manual processes by upwards of 50%
• Global Visibility: Make decisions based on real time data, not batch reports

Most modern companies face the problem of effectively exchanging business data and documents with their trading partners. Often the volume of this business data is so high that dealing with it manually becomes very costly and therefore requires a more automated and cost efficient processing solution. A way to cope with this high volume of business data is to use an EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system to automate the communication to all trading partners using classical EDI document standards like EDIFACT, ANSI X12, TRADACOM or others. Basically EDI utilizes two main methodologies to exchange those business documents: either by using a VAN (Value added Network) service or by a direct Point-to-Point connection.

SEEBURGER has partnered with SAP to provide both B2B/EDI solutions and industry expertise. What does this mean for SAP customers?
