The Managed Services solution from OpenText will be the complementary foundation to the OpenText Process Suite solution
OpenText has been selected by Schneider Electric to enable its global supply chain platform. Building on the success of its initial implementation, Schneider Electric has expanded its relationship with OpenText, using the OpenText Managed Services as the basis of the company’s global supply chain platform.
Philippe Azoulay, Director IT Supply Chain, Scheider Electric, commented, “Schneider Electric was looking for a reliable partner offering a Business-to-Business (B2B) workflow management platform in the cloud, and able to work with us across our global operations. OpenText is a natural partner, and its expertise in B2B integration and the high quality service provided were key criteria for our decision to expand the deployment.”
Schneider Electric’s common supply chain platform across the group allows for the critical exchange of information between B2B logistics providers worldwide, along with the introduction of new types of processes such as interbank cash transfers.
The Managed Services solution from OpenText will be the complementary foundation to the OpenText Process Suite solution already in place, allowing Schneider Electric to define business process standards with all logistics providers and business applications.
“The challenge will be to scale the solution to allow the exchange of information across more than one hundred information systems, whilst meeting critical time constraints.” continued Philippe Azoulay. “With OpenText, we will simplify, transform and accelerate the implementation and deployment of integration services, allowing our logistics providers to securely share information flows globally, while reducing our total cost of ownership.”
OpenText Managed Services leverage OpenText Trading Grid, a powerful cloud-based B2B integration solution that offers integration technology for enterprises to connect to their business partners quickly, securely and efficiently. OpenText Trading Grid is highly scalable and can manage the digital business network for an entire multi-national B2B ecosystem or handle a smaller subset of selected projects, regions, or trading partner relationships.
