With tight SAP integration established over more than 20 years, the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) and associated solutions align closely with ETIAH’s extensive SAP practice and commitment to helping organizations maximize their SAP investments. ETIAH also selected the SEEBURGER platform because of consistently high analyst rankings and unique capabilities that increase data security, facilitate governance and regulatory compliance, and lower the total cost of ownership – including industry-first integrated management and logging of system-to-system, system-to-human and human-to-human file transfers plus structured B2B/EDI transaction messages such as purchase orders.
The relationship also gives ETIAH access to comprehensive channel partner resources that earned the SEEBURGER partner program a 5-Star Partner rating in CRN’s 2012 Partner Programs Guide. These resources range from a dedicated global channel and alliance team that helps partners grow their revenues to online opportunity registration and a feature-rich partner portal.
“This affiliation with SEEBURGER will enable us to help customers leverage their SAP implementations for supply chain communications, secure file sharing, and much more,” said Frank Rubio, Vice President, Sales & Alliances, ETIAH. “With SEEBURGER features such as pre-configured SAP workflows, built-in SAP best practices, and SAP solution extensions, we can now offer a powerful new collection of tools that are fully integrated into the SAP interface to help customers achieve new efficiencies, facilitate compliance and optimize their business.”
All functions and components of the SEEBURGER BIS are now available through ETIAH, including:
- SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer (MFT) for SAP, an SAP-specific edition of SEEBURGER’s award-winning SEE MFT suite that works directly within SAP and SAP NetWeaver PI/XI to encrypt, track and trace exchanged SAP and non-SAP business files of any size; stop data leakage caused by file exports out of SAP; and eliminate the unwieldy patchwork of plug-ins, FTP/SFTP servers, and gateway- or application-specific MFT servers typically used to manage file transfers.
- SEEBURGER B2B/EDI, a set of solutions that automate supply chain transaction messages with strategies ranging from conventional B2B/EDI to WebEDI. The B2B/EDI components of BIS can be used in tandem with SEE MFT to consolidate management and reporting of all business file transfer activity under one interface for the first time.
- SEEBURGER Order-to-Cash Solution Extension for SAP, an SAP add-on that fully automates booking by scanning incoming paper-based orders, verifying relevant information against SAP master data, and seamlessly linking and automating order entry, order verification, delivery, invoicing and receipt of payment to accelerate revenue recognition.
- SEEBURGER B2B/SCM (Supply Chain Management) Monitor for SAP, an SAP add-on that provides full visibility into supply chain transactions from the SAP interface for easy access by business users without the need to call EDI staff to check individual processes. This eliminates delays in problem identification and resolution, improves customer service, and reduces costs.
“Our business integration platform has clear IT and business benefits for SAP shops, so we are focusing on signing channel partners specializing in SAP services,” said Rohit Khanna, EVP, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, for SEEBURGER. “With their SAP expertise, strong customer base, broad industry and public sector reach, and more than 500 consultant resources across North America, we expect ETIAH to play an important role in bringing the power of our technology to organizations that rely on SAP to manage their business.”
