What is Business to Business Integration?
Business to Business (B2B) Integration is the seamless co-ordination of information between companies and their systems.
B2B Integration is designed for many-to-many or one-to-many businesses that have different databases to seamlessly connect the data flow between them. With the rise of the Internet, B2B Integration can now provide businesses with an affordable and efficient tool. Microsofts BizTalk server platform enables systems to share information without the cost or hassle of another system.
B2B Integration eliminates the need for a One System Fits All approach.
Businesses today spend large resources purchasing, deploying & customising their systems to fit their own and others needs. The benefit of B2B Integration is that they can seamlessly connect to their partners without the hassle of a separate package.
A lot of businesses today have many processing activities that are still manual. Processes that involve multiple data entry points for the same information, and in some cases, multiple departments inside and outside a company.
Business in these companies is considerably weakened by inefficiencies and errors, and as a result they become re-active, slow moving and inflexible.
Businesses that are co-ordinated, efficient & flexible will be pro-active and more likely to succeed and grow.
B2B Integration improves the efficiency of sharing information with your customers, suppliers and trading partners.
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
B2B Integration can also assist in your internal communications.
Some internal enterprise systems may have a weak link in their overall offering. An example may be that the procurement module is unsatisfactory for your business. B2B Integration can plug in your best of breed procurement package into your enterprise system, therefore integrating your new package with the rest of your system to maximise business processes.
Background on B2B Integration.
In the past, many customers needed to purchase proprietary or single platform systems (point to point) to share information with one another. In some cases, this required businesses to co-ordinate their own systems with a separate Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system to communicate with each customer or supplier.
In many cases it was the larger business dictating to its smaller suppliers that they must comply by using their recommended system. For the smaller suppliers who couldnt afford compliance, the larger firms left them behind.
B2B Integration Today.
B2B Integration eliminates the need for a One System Fits All approach. Companies can now easily connect to each other without making complex changes to their existing databases.
Today, in a customer supplier relationship, the information would be sent directly from the customers database in its original format. The information would be received into a B2B Integration hub where it would be re-configured and delivered directly into the suppliers database.
There are two ways in which integration can seamlessly connect companies.
1. Direct B2B Integration Business data can be sent and received directly between two databases
2. B2B Integration Hub Data is sent and received in its original format with the B2B hub translating the information to meet each systems requirements.
