Outsourcing B2B helps SAP All-In-One customers improve their balance sheets in measurable hard dollar savings. By outsourcing B2B to integrate suppliers and operations, companies are able to reduce ongoing infrastructure costs, reduce the amount of staff required to perform daily tasks, and most importantly, create organizational agility. Benefits include:
- Save on Software Maintenance. Many middleware solutions and even older EDI translators can carryan annual maintenance fee of over $20,000 per year.
- Consolidate Hardware, Database, & Archiving Costs. Hardware and database costs can be crippling, especially in today’s current regulatory environment that mandates long-term archiving of upwards of 10 years for certain regional tax authorities. These costs can range anywhere from $10,000 per year to well over $30,000 per year for mid-size corporations.
- Reduce the need for EDI Staff. One of the key issues with EDI is the constant change that comes from internal alterations of systems as well as the changes mandated by partners. Therefore, it is critical to have staff to keep the maps working, track data quality issues, and work with network partners on a daily basis.
