The explosive growth of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce is transforming markets,
redefining business relationships and revolutionizing existing value-chains. These
challenges are creating tremendous opportunities for innovative and cost effective
solutions for the extended-enterprise to improve operational efficiency. Although
enterprises have adopted new applications to address overall operational efficiency, they
have only improved computing resource efficiency. Management is still making important
decisions based on gut-feelings, discussions, and historical data. This situation is due
to the lack of a real time closed-loop environment linking applications to management.
Nanopost (TM) offers a solution that bridges the gap between information systems and the
people that use them across the entire value chain. It enables real-time collaborative and
intelligent decision-making at all levels of the enterprise and its partners. The solution
empowers executives and managers to assess the state of the extended enterprise. It
further assists business users in making operational decisions in real-time and in taking
immediate actions. Nanopost offers next generation IT solutions to address these
challenges in a closed loop environment. This is a set of application services delivered
on the web (Intra/Internet) in an Application Service Provider (ASP) model.
