Additional EDI Approach for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Results in 47 New Global Customer Contracts

On Demand EDI Approach Drives Market Acceptance for SAP and Crossgate
Relationship
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Crossgate Inc., the global expert in business-to-business integration (B2B),
continues to grow its customer base by offering an alternative deployment
strategy through a fixed-cost B2B managed service.

In light of recent economic uncertainties around the world, many companies are
keeping a closer eye on operating expenses and trimming budgets by finding ways
to consolidate business processes. For SAP customers, the clear answer to
integrating internal and external processes is SAP NetWeaver Process Integration
(SAP NetWeaver PI).

More than 3,000 organizations have decided to use the SAP NetWeaver PI offering
as their business-oriented SOA middleware to perform application-to-application
(A2A) and business-to-business (B2B) integration across a business network. It
includes an Enterprise Services Repository, an enterprise services bus,
pre-packaged integration templates, and technical and application adaptors to
support end-to-end process integration. SAP NetWeaver PI goes beyond a pure
technology focus with pre-packaged business integration templates such as
integration scenarios, process components, interface description and global data
types, etc. to reduce organizations` integration TCO, enabling customers to
focus on the integrated business results.

By leveraging SAP`s existing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) relationship
with Crossgate, SAP NetWeaver PI customers can also choose an on demand EDI
approach for B2B integration that does not require additional investments in
building mappings or hiring staff to maintain trading partner connectivity.

Crossgate B2B360 Services Powered by SAP® opens the door to more than 40,000
business partners that are pre-integrated in Crossgate`s Business-Ready Network.
For customers dealing with global customer and government requests, this EDI
managed service provides the perfect complement to address line of business
initiatives while operating under tighter budgets and hiring restrictions. Most
IT executives are tasked with `doing more with less.` This alternative approach
to EDI maintains an SAP-compliant strategy while reducing the current and
ongoing costs of supporting ever-changing B2B requirements.

Crossgate B2B360 Services Powered by SAP addresses the key issues found with
traditional in-house B2B integration development. Instead of providing only
generic B2B data standards such as ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, along with mapping
toolsets, this managed services approach to EDI includes partner-specific
mappings, communications, and business processes. More importantly, the
interface with Crossgate is fully aligned with SAP NetWeaver and
Service-Oriented Architecture. And unlike in-house B2B solutions where time and
materials costs can quickly skyrocket out of control, Crossgate`s business model
offers fixed-price predictability. B2B360 Services Powered by SAP also provides
turnkey service extensions for SAP ERP, SAP Business All-In-One, SAP Business
ByDesign, SAP Supply Network Collaboration, SAP Transportation Management, and a

productivity, address global e-business mandates, and increase organizational
agility so they can meet business challenges both now and in the future. To
