- GXS, a provider of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce solutions, today announced the launch of its new B2B Gateway software solutions designed to provide large and medium-sized enterprises with a platform to streamline global trading partner integration.
- GXS Enterprise Gateway and GXS Partner Gateway blend software and services from GXS with software from webMethods and represent an upgrade for GXS customers using GXS Enterprise System, which was GXS' former integration broker solution.
- Building on the companies' partnership announced in November 2004, GXS B2B Gateway solutions provide customers a global business integration solution to automate and manage global trading communities.
- The solution is powered, in part, by webMethods Fabric which uses a service-oriented architecture for flexibility to meet current and future integration needs.
- GXS Enterprise Gateway also includes the B2B translation software, GXS Application Integrator, and is packaged with a pre-configured adapter to the GXS Trading Grid, connecting customers to global business partners.
- Penske Logistics, which is currently using the GXS Enterprise Gateway, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Penske Truck Leasing, a joint venture of Penske Corp. and General Electric.
- Penske Logistics offers solutions for transportation, warehousing and supply chain management.
- "Having a single, global integration solution that improves the reach and effectiveness of our customers' supply chain network is essential.
- GXS Enterprise Gateway is very attractive to us as we work to maximize the effectiveness of this growing and more complex supply chain."
- Also launched today is GXS Partner Gateway, a B2B integration solution for the mid-market that combines integration and data translation software with a library of adapters, configured and packaged for use by mid-market companies.
- GXS said Partner Gateway enables a medium-sized business to conduct electronic commerce with larger business partners, such as major retailers.
- New products for the Trading Grid support business process management and activity monitoring, which will only strengthen the installed base.
