REIMS / ETS Consultancy

Our consultants have extensive experience working with and supporting the ETS and REIMS products sets. For new installations we would recommend JCommerce as the e-commerce engine, we recognise however that ETS and REIMS continue to be robust and effective products and we will be pleased to provide you with implementation, mapping and other integration services.

Specialist Knowledge

 

We can provide fully automated solutions and integrating to the majority of end systems including SAP, BAAN, MFG/PRO, Efacs and Scala. We understand that many customers have enough knowledge to create a new trading partner or individual interchange or perhaps make a minor modification to a mapping. Unless you are using the system on a day-to-day basis, however, you loose the specialist knowledge. The ability to create a new message or mapping from scratch and to link that to the relevant trading partner and Interchange type to create a new Individual Interchange.

Independence

 

Our independence means that we can propose new solutions if it is clear that the current version of REIMS or ETS does not meet your needs. In many cases an upgrade to a different version may meet your requirements. In situations where it does not, or where you feel you cannot justify the potential cost increase, then we may be in a position to help.

Mapping

  We can use REIMS and ETS to provide mappings for a wide range of messages from the EDIFACT, Tradacoms and ANSI X12 standards. We have experience mapping to a wide range of flatfile standards including BASDA, Intercept and customers own standards.

AIMS

  AIMS provides an effective integration engine allowing access to databases, flat-files and other information structures. Again we have a high level of expertise in making effective use of this technology. We have used AIMS to generate a Purchase Order and a Sales Order from an Inbound EDI Sales Invoice (a requirement resulting from the unusual nature of the business processes and SAP's lack of flexibility). This was achieved via a complex AIMS script, that also performed initial validation and reporting to an Access database.

XML

 

The REIMS Open Transaction Server provides an effective mechanism for developing XML messaging. We again have the experience to help you in the migration to this and other Internet-based technologies.

Platforms

  Our specialist area of support is for the Windows based platforms.

Support

  We can provide additional support on top of that provided through your standard maintenance if it suits your needs. In most cases this would relate to implementation specific support as opposed to issues relating to the ETS or REIMS system which would be covered by the standard Help Desk.
