IBM and China ECNet launch IBM eDistribution Solution
New solution help companies establish RosettaNet-based
Business-to-Business Exchanges
Beijing, China, April 22, 2005 -- IBM today launched a new solution for companies in China and around the world to quickly, easily and affordably establish and maintain RosettaNet-based Business-to-Business (B2B) Exchanges.
Targeted for multinational companies (MNC) and large domestic enterprises, the high-quality, low-cost IBM eDistribution Solution works even for companies that have very little IT infrastructure.
Many multi-national corporations and large enterprises have been plagued with the high costs of B2B Exchange as a barrier to getting their smaller suppliers and trading partners connected to their e-supply chain. This affordable and agile solution, available in both English and Chinese, is the answer to the problem.
"IBM is committed to providing electronics component manufacturers, OEMs, and distributors with scalable and cost-effective RosettaNet solutions that will enable them to bring rapidly on-board large groups of trading partners,” said Joe Kaczmarek, WW Business Development Executive, B2B Solutions, IBM Software Group.
The IBM eDistribution solution offers a highly flexible transaction environment that can literally be deployed to a new trading partner in a matter of minutes and without human intervention. This represents a milestone in on demand computing for B2B environments, where trading partner enablement can take days and cost thousands of dollars per trading partner. IBM eDistribution Solution starts from as low as under US$1,000.
The new IBM offering leverages the RosettaNet Automated Enablement (RAE) standard and is developed on IBM’s WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Business Integration Connect.

IBM与中国电子元器件交易网（China ECNet）联合推出IBM eDistribution解决方案
新的解决方案将帮助其他公司建立起基于RosettaNet的B2B数据交换中心
2005年4月22日，中国北京－ 为了让中国及全世界的公司能够以较低的成本和方便快捷的方式来建立和维护基于（专用于开放式电子商务流程的）RosettaNet行业标准的B2B数据交换中心，IBM今天推出了一项新的解决方案。
作为中国国内电子生产行业的电子商务网站，中国电子元器件交易网（China ECNet）将使用这些标准，并将向其成员企业提供相关技术（？）。
IBM的这项eDistribution解决方案质量高、成本低，主要面向跨国公司及中国的大型企业，同时适用于那些只有很少IT基础设施的公司。通过把标准的互联网连通能力与先进的窗体技术结合起来，IBM的eDistribution方案无须用户进行设置操作，而且能够轻松地与贸易伙伴的系统相结合，因而用户能够随时随地开展贸易业务。
一般的B2B数据交换设施成本高昂，一些小型供应商及贸易伙伴常常无法接入大型公司的电子供应链。如今采用的这一先进方案成本低廉，设计灵活，且有英文和中文两种版本。它将很好的解决这一难题。
“IBM致力于为各电子元器件厂商、原始设备制造商以及各分销商提供可扩展的、更具成本效应的RosettaNet解决方案，使他们能够迅速扩展大批贸易伙伴。”IBM软件小组B2B解决方案全球业务发展经理Joe Kaczmarek说。
IBM 的eDistribution解决方案由IBM中国软件开发实验室开发，能够提供高度灵活的交易环境，只需几分钟时间就可与新的贸易伙伴的系统相结合，而且无需人工干预。这对于B2B环境下的“按需计算”具有重要意义。过去扩展一个贸易伙伴通常需要几天时间和数千美元，而采用IBM的eDistribution方案的成本只需不到1000美元。
IBM这项新的解决方案采用了RosettaNet自动授权（RAE）标准，并在IBM的WebSphere Application Server 及WebSphere Business Integration Connect上开发而成。
