Five Signs You Need A New and Better B2B Integration Solution

No business is an island.

To succeed, you need strong relationships with suppliers, vendors, and customers.

The strength of these relationships relies on B2B integration solutions that efficiently, reliably, and securely share data among your trading partner community.

However, many organizations are still utilizing outdated, legacy B2B integration solutions (often solely centered around EDI) that have not kept pace with the latest technology or business requirements of their organization and supply chain.

Examples of key new technologies that typically aren’t addressed by legacy solutions include ever-changing B2B document standards and communication protocols, enterprise application integration (EAI), cloud services integration, and leading security measures.

The right B2B integration solution and strategy can deliver numerous benefits to your business, increasing bottom-line and top-line revenue through:

• Reduced operational costs

• Increased efficiencies

• Decreased manual processes

• Expedited cycle times

• Streamlined trading partner management

That’s why we have created a quick reference table on the following page that highlights the five key signs you should look for when determining whether you need a new and better B2B integration solution.

If the signs are present at your organization, you’ll also want to examine the capabilities - also listed in this reference table - that you should look for when evaluating a new and better solution.
