SAP

Most SAP customers are in the process of performing an upgrade, consolidation or extension of their ERP applications. However, few companies appreciate the strong interdependency that ERP projects have on B2B integration. A recent AMR study confirms that over one-third of all data in ERP applications originates from external trading partners: customers, suppliers, third-party logistics providers and financial institutions.

Without adequate impact analysis, code modification and system testing of B2B interfaces, ERP projects run the risk of costly budget overruns and delays. AMR research also confirms that 84% of manufacturers experience a delay in ERP projects due to B2B integration issues. These ERP project delays can cost multi-billion dollar companies an average of $50,000 per day.

GXS manages direct connections to over 100 different SAP implementations in our customer base. Leverage our ERP integration best practices to improve data quality and reduce the risk of project delays.

  • Data Quality—Implement an ERP firewall with hundreds of business rules to ensure that only high-quality data passes from trading partners into your SAP applications.
