In business, control of vital processes is the key to improving overall performance in terms of both quality and cost. Today’s emerging integrated business collaboration networks have prospered by being able to target connectivity and visibility with company-external processes for improvement and competitive advantage.

Today, leading companies are taking control with integrated supply chain organizations and now what was one of the most challenging areas has brought high rewards for these companies as they integrate supplier information seamlessly into their own operations.
