customers can add potential business partners in their preferred connection list. If the partner is already on the network then connect BizTalk Cooperation should only be enabled, otherwise linking business consultant will contact the company desired to determine whether participation in a network of cooperation BizTalk. After the traffic between the two companies has enabled both companies will then have access to data that are exchanged.

...

Advantages of the proposed Microsoft BizTalk Collaboration Service offering to begin with a reputation that Microsoft has built over the past 30 years as a company that delivers business value of all sizes. Microsoft has brought many innovations to the market that has consistently delivered lower prices and greater efficiency of all firms form veličina.Glavna weakness is Microsoft's size. Dealing with the size of Microsoft can be very scary. Then add the fact that most small businesses lack the technical experience, especially when dealing with leading edge technologies. The possibilities are endless when dealing with small and medium enterprises, this market segment business integration is unfortunately zanemaren.Tehnološki savvy company with a strong reputation for providing quality products and services simply will not be able to attract customers in the SMB segment.

threats in this market are identified value-added network value mreže.Dodane have established relationships with many large companies, though their business model is based on the collection of characters in the monthly fee based on volume. Many of the larger companies looking to reduce costs and will not look favorably on solutions that would add extra costs to their bottom line. Additional threats include small regional providers that can serve vertical industries and markets. These regional players tend to provide links only large companies, and they missed the opportunity to help small and medium businesses to reduce their cost structure by implementing the cooperation between companies from the SMB sector.

total market size for small and medium enterprise B2B integration is estimated to grow to a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Current industry estimates are "plastics industry - more than 5000 suppliers of plastics and 18,000 plastic processors who trade in 30 000 grade materials, food services industry - more than 2,000 manufacturers, distributors and 20 000 750 000 Restaurants / operators, chemical industry - more than 500 manufacturers in the world one thousand complex products, complicated distribution through more than 50,000 agents; Healthcare industry - more than 7,500 vendors selling complex, regulated products 275 000 hospitals,. fragmented, inefficient industry and printing industry - hundreds of national print and more than 50,000 regional printers in the U.S. alone, "These data are stunning considering that up to 95 percent of these companies have not invested in any type of B2B integration solutions. Many may be forced to connect electronically at least one major account within the next 18-24 months.

competition in this area ranges from the established value-added networks looking to expand its revenue base to small regional businesses, which usually target a very narrow market segment. The traditional value added networks that include Sterling Commerce, GXS, and Inovis are not well prepared to the SMB market segment, their sales force is mainly focused on larger companies. These valued added network model uses the traditional account manager for the service to its customers, which would be too expensive for the SMB market. Regional players are using the Internet when trying to reach customers outside their regional geographic area. Many SMB companies will have to have a reliable partner that will help them with this kind of integration. Additional competitive pressure will come from high-end B2B software such as BEA Systems, SeeBeyond, and IBM are looking to expand their customer base by selling stripped down version of enterprise products. Many of these products require a complex configuration, which usually come at a very expensive consulting rates. This model will be very difficult to sell to SMB companies that have very shallow pockets and need to stretch their IT budgets.
