All the benefits of an installed software solution and all the advantages of a hosted solution – with none of the headaches!
Business-to-Business (B2B) integration projects are not simple - they are aimed at establishing close collaboration between your business processes and those of your customers and suppliers.
But B2B integration is also critically important to your business’ performance, and putting off a critical project with an important partner can have far-reaching consequences. So, for many companies already backlogged with strategic business directives, finding an alternative to “Do-It-Yourself” is very appealing.
Hosted services, software as a service, and outsourcing all have drawbacks that many companies find unacceptable. Costs can be unpredictable and confusing. Critical business data is under the control of another organization. Choices for integrating with internal applications and data are limited. And part of your business agenda becomes dependent on your provider’s delivery schedule.
Should you decide later to bring the project in-house, you have to begin all over again. Scalability becomes a new concern. Integration with your internal systems, applications and processes needs to be rethought. And, your staff requires training in new administration and operations processes.
Now, there is a new alternative, with all the low cost, fast start, and low resource benefits of off-site models. EXTOL Managed EDI Services is a new way to address an old problem that lets you have your cake and eat it too.
