Suppliers are discovering that critical product information is scattered across the company in various organizations, file systems and locations. Unfortunately information is as diverse as it is distributed including paper, spreadsheets, word files, pdf files and engineering formats.

Each request for information from literally hundreds of partners each week, sends personnel scrambling to manually search each of these islands of information. Content is transferred via traditional means of paper, phone and fax due to lack of centralization and standardization.

This archaic paper, phone and fax based communication is limiting revenue growth and imposing unnecessary overhead, costs and delays on themselves and their partners.

In the current economic environment, suppliers survival may depend on streamlining the numerous communication flows between themselves and their partners and recouping millions of dollars of potential earnings each year.
