of organizations report a clear need to optimize their current EDI VAN implementation

Overview

Abstract transportation and logistics imagery

Many organizations manage a complex B2B infrastructure consisting of multiple EDI VAN services, numerous direct connections and a patchwork of outdated B2B technologies that require extensive IT resources to manage. Custom requirements from partners and a skills shortage further exacerbate the situation.

OpenText™ solutions enable companies to consolidate their EDI VAN services to create a B2B system that is easier to work with, has access to more features and typically costs less than multiple EDI VAN providers combined.

Key benefits

Impact business and achieve better results.

Improve strategic decision-making

Future-proof operations

Business impacts

VAN infrastructure management

Managing multiple EDI VAN implementations requires working with different systems and processes and investigating multiple points of failure, increasing work and complexity. Simplify operations by consolidating to a single EDI VAN provider.
Skilled staff

Finding, hiring and retaining the staff to maintain legacy EDI systems in today’s environment can be more challenging than the maintenance. Get ongoing support and expertise to keep systems running smoothly.
Process automation

Outdated EDI systems lack innovative capabilities needed to streamline and automate common business processes. Consolidate to a modern VAN platform with advanced features to improve efficiency, visibility and security for all business transactions.
Custom trading mandates

Business partners often mandate a specific process for document exchange involving time-consuming custom or manual processes. Easily meet varying trading mandates with a network that supports a wide range of connectivity requirements.
Comprehensive reports

When each system in a fragmented B2B infrastructure captures and reports data differently, it becomes nearly impossible to run a complete report of all transaction activities. Simplify comprehensive, custom reporting with one consolidated network.
