The Supplier Challenge/Opportunity:
To compete in the new global economy, businesses must adopt an extended enterprise solution that allows them to efficiently manage transactions and other information between their systems and those of their trading partners.
 
Today, larger organizations are beginning to aggressively implement electronic purchasing systems. However, they are not finding enough suppliers who are compatible and can transact electronically.
 
Forward thinking suppliers see this as a unique opportunity to gain competitive advantages and strengthen relationships. The challenge, however, is to make the necessary business and technical transition without breaking the bank.
 
The Actiant Solution:
Actiant has developed a suite of e-business products and services specifically designed to bring extended enterprise and electronic transaction capabilities within reach of business-to-business suppliers and their trading partners.
 
In addition, the Actiant business model enables suppliers to adopt e-commerce in cost effective stages and grow at their own pace.
 
As an Application Service Provider (ASP), Actiant minimizes a supplier's upfront investments, time to market and internal resource requirements.
