Overview Despite the fact that EDI has been around for 20+ years, traditional EDI software vendors have fallen short of delivering a total solution for eBusiness. On one hand, companies are seeking ways to lower the costs of building and/or maintaining an EDI environment. This requires an ability to rapidly integrate with new trading partners, to flexibly manage trading partner profiles and, perhaps most importantly, to integrate with a complex array of internal systems and applications.

On the other hand, companies are looking beyond their current needs, analyzing additional opportunities that exist outside of the scope of EDI and seeking an extensible solution that will accommodate the shifting nature of eBusiness in the future. A total solution is designed with the anticipation of transacting business with trading partners or exchanges via XML as well as EDI. Additionally, there should be some provision for the possibility of integrating other systems such as customer relationship management systems and shop floor systems to achieve various initiatives, such as collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR). Even mergers and acquisitions can impact eBusiness and EDI, requiring a new set of systems to be integrated. SeeBeyond provides the most comprehensive solution available for EDI and beyond.
