IntegrationManager

Realize Real-Time e-Commerce Connectivity for Your B2B Web Site
SpaceWorks IntegrationManager is the integration engine behind the SpaceWorks Web BusinessManager Suite. It enables fast, seamless integration of the Suite to back-end systems, e-Marketplaces and your buyers' procurement systems. Your entire B2B e-Commerce environment is connected in real-time via a single Web-based interface. This is the 24x7, real-time connectivity you need to fully realize your B2B site's revenue and cost savings potential.

Leverage Your Existing IT Investments
IntegrationManager supports the connection of the Suite to any third-party EAI solution. This leverages your EAI solution of choice to provide complete integration between the Suite and back-end systems, e-Marketplaces and buyer procurement systems. All your real-time data is available to your business buyers through a single Web-based interface, including inventory availability, pricing, account histories, order and shipment status, and more. Information exchanges across the Internet are secure without requiring modifications to your firewalls.

Out-of-the-Box Integration
IntegrationManager provides seamless, real-time out-of-the-box integration through:

• WebMethods B2B: Integrates the Suite with third-party and buyer procurement systems as well as e-Marketplaces.
• WebMethods Enterprise: Integrates the Suite with the seller's back-end systems.

Multiple, disparate back-end systems can be integrated, including ERP, legacy, supply chain management (SCM), EDI, and even homegrown systems. There's no need to rewrite code, change databases, or invest in additional integration solutions. This helps preserve the technology investment in your existing systems as well as maximize the value of your enterprise data.

Realize Lower Cost of Ownership
IntegrationManager's ability to provide seamless, end-to-end connectivity also eliminates costly incompatibility issues and inefficiencies. In addition, its use of standards-based XML integration technology and support of open industry standards means future upgrades and maintenance of your e-Commerce system will be faster, easier and less costly to perform. You'll realize significant savings over the life of your system.

Connect to Multiple Marketplaces
IntegrationManager enables you to open your B2B e-Commerce site to external sales channels without sacrificing functionality or customer relationships. Its Commerce One adapter integrates the Suite with Commerce One procurement systems and e-Marketplaces. This includes Commerce One.net, a global buy-side e-Marketplace and on ramp to the Global Trading Web, the world's largest business-to-business trading community. Because the Suite is certified on Commerce One, you're assured of optimal interoperability and performance.

Other e-Marketplaces and procurement systems can also be integrated to your Suite-based sales site, such as those enabled by Ariba. You can even establish your own private marketplace comprising the best-in-class suppliers among your complementary vendor partners. IntegrationManager provides full integration across back-end systems presenting multi-vendor information and pricing to the buyer in a single, customer-facing solution.
