From my experience, there is no of the shelf solution. You have presented
some of the usual requests, like on line order verification and multiple
formats for the same transmission types from various customers. In addition
to resolving these issues, we have also resolved the issues handling inner
packs, multiple pack types, and cartons. This has been successfully
implemented at S. Goldberg and Co., Inc. By Compasslead Consulting Inc.
along with many EDI enhancements. If you you would like to discuss this
further, please drop me a line at jbielecki@compasslead.com or see our web
site www.compasslead.com

Thanks very much,
John

To facilitate B2B e-commerce our company recently purchased Ironworks for
JBA from Ironside Technologies.  We are just getting ready to begin our
implementation so the jury is still out on whether we made the right
choice.  We anticipate a successful project and have a lot of confidence in
the people at Ironside.  Check them out at www.ironside.com.

If you are interested in a custom solution check out Information
Alternatives.  They will custom design a B2B front end using Lotus Domino.
We were impressed with their capabilities but were looking for an off the
shelf solution.

Subject:  ERP Integration




We are currently running JBA System/21 3.5.0, and are running into a wall
with some enterprise integration issues.  I would like to start a thread
discussing these issues, and what others have done to solve the problems
that seem to be inherent in the software.

The EDI module provided with 3.5.0 had limited functionality at best, and
has proven to be a bottleneck in our implementation.  The process is
completely batch driven, with no on line verification.  There also appear
to be issues with having multiple translation formats for the same
transaction (ie. an outbound 810, for example).

We have also built an integration with IBM's WebSphere Commerce Suite,
based on some preliminary API's that were provided by JBA.  These API's are
now part of a product called "eSupply".  From what I've experienced via the
webcast presented in March, eSupply doesn't really fit our needs either.

I'm assuming others have addressed similar issues.  What are some of the
types of things you have run into?  How did you fill the business need?
We've found a relatively poor supply of off-the-shelf application
connectors for JBA System/21, but I'm wondering if we are looking in the
wrong places.

Thoughts anyone?
