One view of the world

Private Exchange Market

• Company ABC has an EDI back office application
  and an SCM application. They have trading
  partners on a VAN, trading partner on VPNs over
  the Internet, and small trading partners that can
  not currently leverage their application.
• Need create a trading environment that can
  integrate to their application base and include
  all their trading partners. Remove the need for
  VPNs. Participate with current peer-to-peer
  trading partners.
