Introduction

Critical transactions involving purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and other documents drive your business. The ability to exchange this information with trading partners efficiently and securely is key to success. Automating interactions with trading partners is one of the easiest ways to simultaneously lower costs, improve customer satisfaction, and increase revenues.
