Context
Standard Products historically managed its EDI environment internally through an IBM Gentran infrastructure integrated with SAP NetWeaver 7.4.
As part of its modernization strategy, the company was looking for a partner capable of taking over and evolving its EDI environment while ensuring business continuity and the long-term sustainability of its commercial exchanges. AGENA3000 has been supporting Standard Products in this transformation since 2021.
The objective was to rely on a high-performing, secure and scalable cloud-based EDI solution capable of supporting both current and future business needs.
Challenges
The project involved several challenges:
- 27 trading partners with specific EDI requirements
- Multiple X12 formats and variations
- Management of 6 key transaction sets: 850, 855, 856, 810, 820 and 997
- Migration of complex business rules (lot pricing, discounts, promotions, etc.)
- ASN (Advance Shipping Notice) optimization
- Integration with SAP NetWeaver 7.4
- Ability to support future technology evolution
