Strategy
Through the strategic development of integrated EDI/EC solutions, Roche and
it's valued Trading Partners can share in the advantage of lowered transaction
and information costs, thus providing unparalleled service levels in the
marketing, distribution and supply chain channels.
What was once considered a 'nice to have' has become a necessity for doing
business in the future and delivers significant advantages for participating
Trading and Channel Partners.
Commitment
Roche is committed to 'doing business electronically'. We are aligned with
Sterling Commerce as the single source approach for electronic commerce
activities. Roche continues to use Sterling's COMMERCE:Network to facilitate
more than 2 billion dollars in electronic business transactions with Trading
Partners annually.
COMMERCE:Network assures the reliable exchange of invoices, purchase orders and
other EDI and emerging EC standard messaging for Roche in such areas as sales,
finance, contracts management, purchasing and logistics. Roche also uses
Gentran:Server message management software from Sterling Commerce to integrate
our EDI and EC messages with our client/server business systems.
Value
Customers and vendor alignment and investment in information systems will be
returned tenfold, due to efficiency and productivity gains made possible by
leveraging 'The Information Advantage.' Our long-standing commitment to
Electronic Data Interchange and Electronic Commerce continues as we negotiate
the new millennium together.
By developing innovative strategies and solutions together, we can each share in
the associated benefits.
