introduction
Email is an amazing tool that has revolutionised business communications and driven the use of the
internet by providing almost instantaneous exchange of information between people. Its ease of
use, ubiquity, immediacy and low transaction cost has helped it win out against meetings, fax,
post and phone.

From a business perspective, this tool on everybody’s
desktop is now carrying megaloads of spam, personal
email, email duplicates, triplicates, updates and of course
the key business transaction documents such as orders and
invoices.

Do the key documents that your business depends on
always get the immediate attention they need and
deserve? Are they ever mistakenly overlooked or left
languishing in the wrong mailbox?
Is there a hidden cost to your business that has never
been articulated for want of an apparent alternative?

This whitepaper highlights a number of attributes that are
of critical significance to the timely exchange of supply
chain information and explores if email is in some cases the
weakest link?

six key functions
There are 6 key functions required for a document transaction system to provide seamless trading
between supply chain partners creating efficiencies and cost savings for each member. A solution
built on “best practice” principles for document transactions should meet the following criteria:




                    1. Be able to share information in
                       a timely reliable manner

                    2. Ensure information gets into the
                       correct processing pipe consistently

                    3. Provide shared visibility of
                       processing status

                    4. Allow for consistent use of
                       agreed mechanisms for resolution
                       of exceptions

                    5. Create a shared, authenticated
                       audit trail

                    6. Provide lean operation
                       enhancement capabilities




                                  Can email meet all of these criteria?
