Free Value Added Networks (VAN’s) hit the Supply Chain…

Perceptant, the on-demand Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Company, today unveiled its free to use, global value added network service to customers.

Supply Chain Exchange 2.0, harnesses all the leading attributes of competitive Value-Added Networks, including security, robustness, scalability and traceability but offers users the ability to exchange data and messages on an inclusive, free to use basis.

Designed to be used not only with Perceptant’s range of Supply Chain, EDI and Busines-to-Business Integration solutions, the company also encourages connections from thrid party applications once certifcation and security tests are completed.

“Traditionally, companies have been financially peralised for using value-added networks” says Matthew Slinn, CEO and Founder of Perceptant. “The more they used the network the more thay had to pay, which in a lot of cases has severely limited the uptake of electronic trading and B2B data integration”. “Through this new Global initiative, companies can harness the power of a trading-grid of World-class SCM and EDI applications underpinned by a Value Added Network that doesn’t financially penalise them”.

“Over the next five years, AMR Research predict the market for SCM applications will grow at 7% per annum, despite the gloomy economic conditions of 2008 so companies are going to place an ever reliance on interconnected applications and services” says Tim Howden, Senior SCM Consultant. “EDI and SCM vendors have historically hampered the growth of these initiatives by charging customers based on data volumes and network usage or expecting companies to send sensitive information and data across unsecured Internet connections. Perceptant has finally broken this mould and we expect initiatives like this to further fuel customer demand”.

“This certainly strengthens Perceptant’s hand and pushes them to the forefront of the Software as a Service (SaaS) business application vendors in the Supply Chain Management, B2B Integration and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) space “.
