B2B Consolidation

Can you relate to these issues?

• You have many points of integration
• Your integration platforms for supply, demand, and logistics channels are inconsistent
• You manage many “one-off” integrations uniquely
• Maintaining your B2B gateway is too costly and diverts resources from other key initiatives
• You lack core expertise in deploying and managing large-scale integration efforts
• You have a large investment in legacy systems and cannot afford to abandon them, yet you must integrate with newer technologies including synchronous / response connections

The Tangled Web of Connections

Over the years, your company has built many points of connections with your suppliers, customers, partners and divisions. Perhaps you have an EDI VAN for purchase order exchange, Web Services for inventory checking, FTP to exchange data with your business partners and middleware software to integrate two ERP applications. You’ve outsourced some and built others in-house. Perhaps your business colleagues have gone ahead and outsourced eCommerce punchout on their own to keep customers happy.

At the same time, cross-enterprise integration has become increasingly complex. Your business partners require connectivity options ranging from legacy protocols to SOA-based Web services. Globalization has added to the challenge because many of your partners use different technology platforms and have differing levels of integration capability.

Often B2B Integration Results in a Tangled Web of Connections

Hubspan Can Bring it Together with a Single Connection

No matter how many different points of integration or connections you currently have or how complex your communities are, it is possible to consolidate your B2B integration with a single connection, while still leveraging your existing solutions.  Hubspan’s innovative, cloud-based platform delivered as a service speeds cross-enterprise execution while reining in complexity and cost.

A single, transparent Hubspan connection links your enterprise to multiple communities, managing direct connections to customers or partners or working through a VAN or marketplace.  No changes are required to anyone’s internal systems or processes. Hubspan mediates disparate data formats, validation methodologies, security protocols, routing and service level agreements.

Traditional point-to-point and hard-wired connections are increasingly less effective. Software solutions are expensive, frequently non-scalable and often un-customizable.  Making them work with different systems consumes expensive IT resources and may yield less than optimal results. In addition, you will likely miss business opportunities that arise during a lengthy deployment process.

WebSpan Streamlines and Simplifies B2B Integration

Hubspan can have your B2B consolidation up and running within a matter of weeks. Think of the time, money and overhead you will save with a single connection to a cloud-based integration platform.
