Case for Action

Limited Deployment

Companies are not able to utilize their RosettaNet infrastructure investments across all tiers of their Trading Partner base. As ROI is driven by utilization, this limits the total value to be gained from the investment. 

Slow to Connect

It takes too long to bring up a trading partner on current RosettaNet gateway solutions.

Impact to SME

Small size companies must deal with multiple applications and data formats from their trading partners - unable to take advantage of RosettaNet standards today.

As a result of these business issues, companies are having to develop redundant B2B solutions for connection to their trading partners.

Current eBusiness Environment

RosettaNet Implemenation Framework (RNIF) today only supports 24x7 access to the internet to process the PIPs real-time. The total implementation cost is too prohibitive for many companies. Many SME Trading Partners operate with a dial-up access to the Web, so they are unable to use RosettaNet solutions.

RosettaNet does not support a 'System-to-Human' interface. Many SME Trading Partners do not have any formal Enterprise Application, preventing 'System-to-System' integration. These SME trading partners must enter their message content by hand, so they are unable to use RosettaNet solutions.
