Integrating business processes to streamline the supply chain

Item synchronization with global repositories

Tab navigation

Global repositories help suppliers and customers automate the supply chain, making it more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. The WebSphere® family of products provides the capability for suppliers and customers to effectively build, deploy, and manage robust and scalable solutions for using a global repository. This collection of articles from the IBM Software Group System House Private Exchange team leads you through item synchronization with global repositories, an important first step in building collaborative commerce solutions.

This introductory article introduces supplier/customer architecture and the WebSphere products that can be used to build a buy-to-integrate or build-to-integrate item synchronization solution. Other articles in the series provide detailed descriptions of the tasks involved in implementing a build-to-integrate solution.
