GAITHERSBURG, Md., Feb. 28: GXS, a leading provider of global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce solutions, will be co-hosting the 100th EDIFICE plenary with customer, Texas Instruments, addressing the question "100% Trading Partner Automation: Is it Realistic?". Ryan Kraudel, GXS' high technology and B2B outsourcing expert, will speak on this topic as will Theo Klaassen, B2B programs manager at Texas Instruments, a GXS customer. In a follow-up presentation, Kraudel will address strategies for extending B2B e-commerce networks entitled "The Other 20%: Reaching non-technical Trading Partners."
"The ever increasing global nature of the high tech industry brings both exciting opportunities and increasing complexity," said Kraudel. "Companies must effectively integrate a combination of suppliers, customers, languages, standards, regulations and technologies in order to simply operate in this competitive marketplace. In correlation with our customer, Texas Instruments, we will describe and demonstrate methods to overcome these complexities and to increase automation and efficiency on a global scale."
The details of GXS' presentations are as follows: Who: Ryan Kraudel, global product and industry marketing manager What: 100% Trading Partner Automation: Is it Realistic? When: Wednesday, February 28; 11.00 - 11.45am Who: Ryan Kraudel What: The Other 20%: Reaching Non-Technical Trading Partners When: Thursday March 1; 10.00 - 10.45am
"From our own experience, we know the impact successful B2B integration initiatives can have on a business' effectiveness and efficiency. By utilizing GXS Trading Grid(R) as our primary platform for B2B, we have opened up our global customer gateway," said Klaassen. "Teaming together at EDIFICE to host the 100th plenary makes perfect sense as we can provide delegates with different yet complementary insights into how to manage expansion into global markets in a way that makes sense for their businesses."
