Small & Medium Sized Business

Small and Medium sized businesses usually look at EDI or B2B as mission critical within their daily operations.  This is because the majority of their customers mandate electronic data interchange as a requirement for doing business. This is true whether you are an automotive supplier wanting to do business with General Motors or BMW, or a consumer products organization desiring to sell your products on Metro or Wal-Mart’s store shelves.

The problem especially for small and medium sized businesses is that traditional EDI solutions are plagued with intensive mapping projects that can spin out of control. Why you ask? The reason is simple: each customer has a different process, data standard and communications policy that is required. As you grow your business, older EDI solutions become more expensive to maintain. Crossgate is the first global EDI provider to eliminate ongoing mapping risks and costs by maintaining the world’s largest repository of pre-configured and reusable B2B Content.
