RosettaNet Automated Enablement

Proposal for RosettaNet offer a scalable and flexible architecture that makes it a viable solution for even the smallest and least technically advanced trading partner.

Value Proposition

Summary of the expected business value for each supply chain role.

Multi-National Companies (MNC) Challenges:

• After 25 years, MNCs have only reached 15-20% of trading partners with B2Bi.
• Maximum return on investment comes from broad adoption.
• Excessive length of time to add a new trading partner or add new exchanges to an existing partner hinders integration.
• The smaller the trading partner, the higher the cost of integration that is borne by the MNC (It can cost 2x-5x more to integrate a SME).

Small & Mid-sized Enterprises (SME) Challenges:
Overall Benefits

• B2B has a high cost of entry and requires significant IT resources to implement.
• Integration requires significant domain expertise (B2B protocols and message formates).
• There is no backend integration, sometimes the backend is a set of spreadsheets.
• Intermittent Internet service and connectivity.  
• Eliminates supplier management of multiple customer web interfaces
• Enables standardization of transactions formats
• Allows integration over time,
• Thereby increasing data quality
• Reduces overhead – printing costs and resources to key in data
• Allows the trading partner to have a synchronized image of their Intel exchanges
• Resulting in higher customer satisfaction scores
• Real time data and transactions available
• Enable machine to human RosettaNet
• Eliminates application time out issues faced with hosted web portals
• Eliminates the need for 24x7 connectivity by our SME Partners
• Enables the capability to automatically configure gateways and to implement new PIPs by eliminating over 80% of the manual implementation activities compared to a fully integrated RosettaNet
• Initial set up cost $1000-$2500
• Capabilities are sustained by third party vendors working directly with Suppliers
• Dramatically increases the global reach of XML by making RosettaNet available to the masses
• Is XML agnostic, meaning non-RosettaNet compliant messages can be routed through the RAE software
