Previously, hundreds of business partners in sales, procurement, and logistics operations were connected to LANXESS via a myriad of legacy protocols, formats, and message types. Operating, support, and maintenance of the company's IT infrastructure were costly and need to be reduced. The diversity of suppliers and customers, coupled with a broad range of requirements, demands and technology environments meant significant time, effort and money to add new trade partners.
LANXESS selected Elemica's 'Connect Once. Connect to All.' Business Process Network to standardize a very high number of connections. The Elemica network traverses all technology environments, including legacy, and supports real-time eBusiness exchange between customers, suppliers and third party logistics providers fostering cost-effective collaboration that is a win-win for all parties.
"Elemica has become the key solution provider for external B2B integration for LANXESS, based on the Software as a Service (SaaS) concept," said Peter Schneider, Manager, Business Solutions Dept., IT-NERP-BS, LANXESS Deutschland GmbH.
"Many enterprises recognize business partner integration as crucial to conducting business and remaining competitive," said Mike McGuigan, CEO of Elemica. "Elemica helps companies cut costs from their supply chain by automating and streamlining key business processes between trading partners, which promotes customer satisfaction and a leaner supply chain - all very critical in this economic environment."
