The e-commerce and supply chain revolution has brought about a dramatic increase in the variety and volume of electronic documents that are exchanged between business partners. Along with that has come a similar increase in the cost of communicating electronic messages in the aftermarket. An industry solution called the PARTnerShip Network has been developed that enables secure, reliable messaging over the Internet with no transaction or per-character fees.
The PARTnerShip Network is a software application that can be installed on a wide variety of Internet servers for use by manufacturers, distributors, retailers and wholesalers. Once the Network is installed and integrated with the back-end applications, messages such as EDI documents, can be sent safely and securely over the Internet, avoiding the time delays and costs of a Value Added Network (VAN).
