EDI outsourcing before SAP S/4HANA migration
Why do many SAP user companies rely on Mercoline EDI?
Today, nothing works in modern companies without the integration of customers, suppliers, banks, customs and other business partners. More and more SAP user companies are recognizing not only the savings potential of standardized data exchange, e.g. via EDI, but also the competitive advantage, e.g. in the delivery of tracking data to customers.
However, with the switch to the new SAP platform S/4HANA, more and more companies are asking themselves how they can transfer their existing interfaces and their own EDI converters to the new SAP world. In addition, SAP user companies no longer think in terms of monolithic SAP system structures, but are much more open to connecting non-SAP solutions and cloud services.
It is a great advantage to have experts on your side who can support this transformation openly and quickly. This is where Mercoline's B2B experts increasingly come into play. Mercoline offers independence through its B2B cloud services, i.e. communication links to business partners at the touch of a button. This is so easy because Mercoline already has over a thousand business partner connections in the various industries. As a B2B outsourcing partner of Mercoline, you benefit from many years of know-how and do not have to maintain it yourself. There is no need for in-house EDI systems and support staff. This saves considerable costs. The guaranteed service levels also increase availability, performance and reliability.
Mercoline sees a clear trend: before migrating to SAP S/4HANA, more and more SAP user companies are replacing their own EDI system landscape and switching to Mercoline's B2B cloud services as a first step. Subsequently, the migration can be carried out much more easily and independently of the external interfaces.
Companies from various industries have opted for Mercoline's B2B outsourcing services in recent years. These include, for example, Bender GmbH & Co. KG, the market leader for electrical safety products and solutions, or miunske GmbH, an automotive supplier for electronic system solutions.
Mercoline customers with SAP systems also benefit here from the extensive SAP know-how that Mercoline provides as an SAP partner. Many B2B services, such as the certified ATLAS communication with the German customs or the operation of web portals for the exchange of data with business partners (arrival confirmations or supplier declarations) are available to the customers in order to map and automate further processes electronically.
