Hi Christine,
I work for Seeburger, bias declared. :-)
You need to look at all the options, a key decision is in-house or
outsource. This often depends on your volume and number of trading
partners. If you have a stable number of partners and can use AS2
avoiding VAN's, in-house has a stronger potential ROI.
Lots of TP's, regular mapping and / or partner changes requires more
resources, outsource may have a better ROI.
Industry situation:
- Sterling is now part of IBM and they have stated it will become Web
Sphere. (possible risk)
- Softshare was just acquired and will be going through transition
(possible risk)
- Inovis was acquired by GXS and is in transition (possible risk)
- Crossgate is still a start up and not profitable. SAP is leaning their
business, will they survive? (possible risk)
Seeburger has the largest installed base of SAP users globally using BIS
our main offering.
Seeburger adapters for PI are resold by SAP globally. We have hundreds
of customers with references in every industry. If you have a PI
strategy this fits easily and can be executed via SAP (one source).
We offer clearing house services. You can send us IDOC's and we will
handle all onward processing similar to a VAN or Crossgate type service.
We've been in business over 22 years, still privately owned and
operated. Conservative, stable, safe business.
I would suggest you prepare an RFP and invite the vendors you think have
potential to respond, short list from there.
Best Regards,
James Hatcher
Seeburger
