Companies worldwide recognize value-add of fixed cost B2B integration business model

Atlanta, Georgia on 19 March 2009

Crossgate Inc., the global expert in business-to-business integration (B2B), more then tripled its international customer base in 2008.

Today’s global economic uncertainty has led companies to keep a closer eye on budgets, staff resources, process efficiency, and profitability. Because of financial concerns, many companies have been forced to reduce staff and cut back on operating expenses. In order to compete and remain successful, companies must find a way to meet their business objectives with fewer employees. And they must do this at a time when global regulatory compliance is becoming more challenging and costly.

Crossgate has risen to the challenge of helping customers weather economic storms by providing complex value-added B2B services for companies keeping a close eye on their bottom line. Crossgate’s growing reputation as a proven industry leader has resulted in the company’s international customer base increasing by more than 300% between 2007 and 2008. This rapid growth includes winning key accounts across the United States, United Kingdom, Finland, Italy and France.

Crossgate’s Business-Ready Network offers the largest central B2B transaction repository of ready-to-run B2B processes, greatly reducing partner implementation time and expense for companies wanting to expand globally. The company’s experience with international B2B requirements, regulations, and standards reduces the time and expense necessary for complex multi-country rollouts, providing companies with a business gateway to the entire world. B2B 360 Services helps companies address multiple international needs in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Implementing SAP upgrades and new applications can have a major impact on a company’s B2B integration program. Crossgate’s experience and strong partnership with SAP, along with our joint development efforts, reduces risk and offers stability while saving money for customers.

Crossgate, Inc. President Scott Lewin said the company’s rapid growth is due to their focus on helping customers meet their business objectives within the current economic climate. “This growth is proof that our fixed cost business model is the perfect solution for organizations having to deal with emerging global business integration,” Lewin explained. “We help companies do more with less in this economic time, and ensure as we come out of this financial crisis that their B2B integration strategy is a competitive advantage because they can work more closely and efficiently with customers and suppliers.”
