Solutions Help Customers Comply with New Retail Mandates and Streamline Business Processes, Resulting in Faster Product Introduction and Increased Invoice Accuracy
GAITHERSBURG, MD-September 10, 2003-Global eXchange Services, Inc. today announced two key offerings in its Data Synchronization suite. Data Sync Manager (DSM) is a new software solution that streamlines the manual internal steps typically associated with gathering and distributing product data to trading partners. Deployable as either a standalone, inside the firewall application, or as part of a hosted solution, DSM is compliant with UCCnet(tm) Foundation Services 2.1. Global Product Catalogue (GPC) also provides full compliance with UCCnet Foundation Services 2.1 and the latest version is now commercially available. Working in partnership with its largest retail clients, Global eXchange Services has been and continues to be an active contributor to both UCCnet enhancements and certification testing for Version 2.2 and beyond.
The Global eXchange Services Data Synchronization solution:
· Meets all trading partner requirements for UCCnet interoperability
· Lowers required investment to implement data synchronization by leveraging existing legacy systems
· Delivers fast ROI through pre-built message choreography and pre-built validation of standard data synchronization rules
· Eliminates incorrect product information and time required to solve bad data issues
· Vastly improves time-to-market by streamlining item setup processes
· Reduces invoice deductions by improving the accuracy of the product data shared among trading partners
UCCnet`s GLOBALregistry is a global product directory that connects independent data repositories to achieve seamless, accurate, consistent data synchronization for multi-industry supply chain partners. Global eXchange Services provides a transparent framework that allows multiple users to access product information data through any communication standard and exchange needed information with UCCnet.
"Our Global Product Catalogue has been delivering industry proven solutions since 1988 and can be used in conjunction with our new Data Sync Manager or on an individual basis," said Sandrine Church, VP of Interchange Applications. "As the only single source for internal item orchestration, product catalog capabilities and community on-boarding, Global eXchange Services has data synchronization solutions for any sized enterprise."
According to Shawn Willett, Principal Analyst with research firm Current Analysis, "Some suppliers are looking for quick, tactical ways to become UCCnet compliant, while larger enterprises often want a more complete, strategic data orchestration and synchronization solution built on extensible business processes.
