What is SEDEB2B Online?
SEDEB2B Online is a whole infrastructure
(framework) of advanced software, services and systems that enables the
integration of synchronous B2B processes between companies of the same
community over the Internet network, securely and totally unassisted. To
this end, EDICOM has researched and developed a new technology called
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
In SEDEB2B Online, it is possible to send and
receive electronic transactions (orders, despatch advices, invoices, etc.)
with the rest of your SEDEB2B Online trading partners synchronously and
without human intervention. This means carrying out integration of B2B
processes at the level of communities of companies, rather than point to
point as is currently the case.
Suppliers and customers interchange their
commercial transactions through SEDEB2B Online, with EDICOM taking charge of
the initial installation and the maintenance of the configuration of each of
the partners, and the global system, so guaranteeing the smooth running of
the system.
SEDEB2B Online is set to become the first
world-wide synchronously integrated network of B2B business processes with
these characteristics.
SEDEB2B Online is a very important
breakthrough for information technologies applied to business, supposing a
paradigm shift in commercial customer-supplier relations. We are providing
business processes with simultaneity that until now could only be conceived
as distant in time.
For example, imagine that a client is making
an order in the management system of their company; the management system is
integrated with SEDEB2B ONLINE and so it is immediately communicated and
SEDEB2B ONLINE sends it on to the addressee synchronously and in the format
that the addressee requires. If SEDEB2B ONLINE is unable to reach the
destination at this time due to technical problems, it retains the message
and tries again later, notifying the source of all these states.
Synchronism or immediacy is essential in a
society where more and more value is being given to cutting times for the
accomplishment of processes while making ways of interaction between
companies possible that until now were not feasible because of the
difference between the time of sending and reception.
The fact that SEDEB2B ONLINE is a centralised
infrastructure for management of these synchronous communications is a very
important differentiating factor compared with any point to point
synchronous communications that might exist, since, as we can imagine, point
to point connections are not viable when we have a very numerous community
of trading partners, given the difficulty of management and maintenance of
this type of communications for each of the participating companies. As
SEDEB2B ONLINE is a centralised infrastructure, there is an economy of scale
that enables us simultaneously to significantly lower the costs to each of
the participants and improve the service, making it much simpler to manage.
