TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Community Management
There are clear benefits to automating business-to-business (B2B) transactions. A critical enabler of this success is efficient management of an ever-changing trading partner community.
The management of trading partner profile information is restrictive for partners if all changes need to go through the host company. Also, it would be an administrative burden for the company to manage all partner profile information. Bringing new trading partners online and managing updates consumes expensive resources that could be used elsewhere in the organization.
TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Trading Community Management software shifts the responsibility of managing trading partner profiles from the host organization to a self-managed environment where trading partners can control their updates.
TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Community Management software is an add-on plugin for TIBCO BusinessConnect that facilitates the rapid expansion of your trading community and eases the burden of trading partner management.
