B2B integration efforts trace their origin to a rather basic wish:
"If I only could get/send data from/to my partner's application
automatically entered/exported in/out of my system". As discussed
above B2B integration is application integration extended outside
a single company. A B2B framework is document-focused and this approach
allows trading partners to communicate based on an agreed-upon set
of standard documents that encapsulate the information required
for a step in a business process.
Most companies today looking for an automated document exchange
(=B2B integration - document-based E-business) solution face a myriad
of technical choices. A large portion of present business is conducted
by sending and receiving documents to and from trading partners.
Companies focus primarily on the exchange of business transactions
(documents) from one company to another. Information is extracted
from an application, transformed into a neutral data format, then
sent to the partner.
Critical mass
Today's E-business initiatives are reaching critical mass. In a few
years, highly automated business processes between trading partners
will produce more tightly coupled supply chains that mesh so closely
that they function almost as an entity. Information will flow from
end to end, allowing these specialized organizations the flexibility
to accommodate shifting demands. Clearly, companies must go beyond
simply meeting the individual demands of their partners and create
an E-business strategy that will optimize their business relationships
as well as drive effectiviness and efficiency into their own supply
chain.
Fortunately, solutions that will enable them to “have it
all" exist today. With the JCommerce Document Broker, Aditel
offers a complete E-business integration platform that delivers
the exchange infrastructure needed to connect to every partner in
the extended enterprise.
