Atlanta-based Crossgate, Inc. offers B2B solutions to a wider global audience

Atlanta, Georgia on 15 January 2008

Crossgate AG, the first intelligent Business Ready Network and global leader in electronic data interchange (EDI), accelerates its continuing global reach with the expansion of its American operations. This endeavor, Crossgate, Inc., is responsible for delivering “on demand” B2B solutions to midsize and large companies in the United States and the Americas. The Atlanta headquarters builds on an existing operational base that was established in New York City.

With more than 34,000 business partners already connected to Crossgate’s Business Integration Platform (B.I.P.), Crossgate, Inc. is now the only B2B vendor in North America focused on providing:

• Reusable business content

Organizations don’t have to reinvent the wheel and create technical mappings for each new project. By focusing on a core philosophy of standardization, Crossgate solutions allow customers and network participants to take advantage of cost savings gained from reusability and pre-defined integration touch points.

• Fixed cost investment

Often, B2B service engagements spiral out of control with continuing change requests and increasing time and material fees. Crossgate’s business model is both fixed and predictable. Decision makers and purchasing executives will know in advance exactly what it will cost to electronically exchange business documents with any global customer, supplier, bank, government, or logistics partner.

• A strategic B2B platform for SAP end users

Known as B2B 360°, these on-demand services from Crossgate work with existing SAP™ installations. Users of SAP™ software can exchange business data electronically via EDI without any additional components. More information about Crossgate’s partnership with SAP can be found at: http://mediaproducts.gartner.com/reprints/crossgate/152525.html

Crossgate, Inc. CEO Scott Lewin, former President and CEO of SEEBURGER, Inc., welcomes the challenge of expanding the customer base and management team at Crossgate, Inc. “Crossgate is primed to forever change the way organizations send and receive electronic business documents,” Lewin says. “Gone are the days when B2B and EDI vendors can charge customers exorbitant license and implementation fees and then offer poor or no migration plans to newer products. Our model of the Business Ready Network is the next evolution in trading partner collaboration. With over 2,500 customers around the globe and a strong partnership with SAP, we are looking to aggressively change the North American EDI market.”

Crossgate already operates Europe’s largest central B2B transaction network, so the expansion of the US subsidiary, coupled with the opening of subsidiaries in London and Paris, firmly establishes Crossgate as a global vendor with the ability to address B2B requirements rapidly and successfully for customers around the world.
