At the completion of this presentation/course, the audience will have a baseline understanding of:

What RosettaNet is – as an organization and as a standardWhy it’s important to the supply chainWho’s involved and what progress is being madeHow it compares to EDI and why companies should add it to their overall B2B roadmapWhat it takes to get RosettaNet ReadyHow to get more information & support

The ImpactThe ImpactThe ImpactThe Impact

Business has changed, evolved, and is mainly internet enabled. As supply chain companies enter the B2B space, they are confronted with multiple vendor relationships, each with unique processes required for doing business electronically.

Their IT departments are forced to manage multiple proprietary “one-off” solutions as a cost of doing business.

Every update or customized solution negatively impacts customer satisfaction.

Commerce tool roll-outs are delayed when each company has to compete with IT requests from other manufacturers who demand customer back-end upgrades to support their tools.



The OpportunityThe OpportunityThe OpportunityThe Opportunity

Adopting an industry standard that’s focused on minimizing redundancy of business process across the supply chain resolves many problems

We all support one standard solution that’s re-used in all of our supply chain relationships

Development and ongoing maintenance costs (dollars and people) significantly reduced

Commerce tool roll-outs are fast-tracked because we don’t compete with IT requests from other manufacturers – we all need the same updates to support the same processes.

RosettaNet is the catalyst for all of us to work together to standardize BUSINESS PROCESS as well as the data

exchanged – unprecedented opportunity!

EDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI Overview• No new development planned –it is what it is (X12 still evolves)• Data-Centric• Regional variations of standard• Hits lots of verticals• People still use it widely – “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it!”• X12/EDIFACT/JEITA technology• EDI Works Today• Has a big install base, as long as you deal with big companies

Standards: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetStandards: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet Overview

• New & evolving, solving legacy issues we all otherwise ignore• Process-Centric Standardization• Single Global Standard - target• Emerging Technology = early adoption, but target is 100% of high tech supply chain + some verticals• Addressing new business areas: warranty, returns, draws, etc.• RosettaNet IS Work Today• Goal to eventually hit smaller co’s



EDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI Overview•VAN-enabled, incurs dollars per character, per transaction• Manual retries on failures• Has error handling capabilities • Limited payload content checks• Can be event-driven• Synchronous messaging• Solutions are highly customized (proprietary) = unique map for each partner

Transport: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetTransport: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet Overview

• Internet, virtually free (after start-up costs – see next slide)• Automated Resends (rules-based)• Has error handling capabilities• Full domain checking, increased data integrity (RNIF)• Event-driven / “Real-time”• Synchronous & Asynchronous messaging• XML volume can be hard to handle



EDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI OverviewEDI Overview• $5K - $500K EDI Infrastructure Cost ($5K+VAN costs & back-end) • EDI’s ongoing costs significant for infrastructure use, development & implementation (VAN costs seem low, until you do millions of transactions & then it adds up!) • Most companies have knowledgeable EDI teams already• Use VAN or EDI INT or your solution is not extensible due to dedicated secure line requirement

Infrastructure: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetInfrastructure: “EDI” vs. RosettaNetRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet OverviewRosettaNet Overview

• $10K - $2M B2B Infrastructure Cost (Cheap = Limited)• Costs upfront can be significant, then ongoing cost is in new process development & partner implementation• Seamless communication requires end-to-end interoperability or time-consuming, costly IT efforts for @ connection• If you can establish connectivity rules with partners first, you win

When is RosettaNet the Answer?When is RosettaNet the Answer?When is RosettaNet the Answer?When is RosettaNet the Answer?RosettaNet is the next generation of (or improvement to) Electronic Business or e-commerce

It goes beyond the present capabilities of EDIThe processes cover more areas of interest to the supply chain,

encompassing product info, marketing & sales info, order management, inventory management, service & support…

The standard provides END-TO-END process scenariosIt’s globalIt’s still evolving and will continue to do so in response to ever-

changing business process in the supply chainIt brings business rules and Trading Partner Agreements into central

Solution Provider CriteriaSolution Provider CriteriaSolution Provider CriteriaSolution Provider Criteria

• Global Membership with RosettaNet (or in whichever region the partnership resides)

• Active participation in RosettaNet Interoperability effort• Successful PIP implementation with at least five different partners

who have different gateway solution providers (to prove interoperability issues have been successfully addressed)

• Sales, Training, and Professional Services resources in-country/region

• 24/7 Technical Support online and via telephone• Expertise in and/or adapter offerings for the leading XML

standards (OAG, ebXML, RosettaNet, cXML, xCBL...).

Every company engaging in a B2B strategy needs to initiate their own vendor evaluation as they select a B2B gateway solution provider.

What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?

It depends on the processes you targetAutomate an existing manual process from scratchEDI process transition to XML processProprietary XML process transitioned to RosettaNet standard

processROI Expectation is ~200% within 5 years

PriceWaterhouseCoopers Avnet Case Study, Spring 20013 Order Management PIPs ROI increases as you deploy the same PIP with multiple partnersFirst 2 years, expect to be FAR in the REDAt Year 3, just over flush and then Year 4 and Year 5 jump

drastically (“hockey stick”)



What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?What’s the ROI?

Benefits to using RosettaNet as a standard way to automate e-commerce processes:

Reduces IT Development and Support Costs by as much as ~60%Less errors (machine-to-machine; can achieve “no-

touch” goals)Do business in real time (send/receive info

immediately; no batch processes req’d). Some partners have reduced order cycle time from 10 days (manual) to less than 1 day (RosettaNet solution).Receipt Acknowledgement & Error Notification

(automatic tracking of message success/failure)Non-repudiation (tracking and logging ensures this)



Implementation Risks or InhibitorsImplementation Risks or InhibitorsImplementation Risks or InhibitorsImplementation Risks or InhibitorsInfrastructure CostsROI is still weak – no examples like “manual PO = $69, EDI PO = $42, RNet PO = ?”Standard is evolving – needs to be built into your roadmap (and your partners’)Adopters at this stage are hitting all of the implementation issuesSome PIPs currently do not meet MOST companies’ back-end business process needs – we all need to change our processesand/or work with RNet to change the standard (takes time and resources!)Only large companies are doing it today (early adopters)Not all of your partners are ready to develop - they need time to prepare (You’ll need to help them navigate entry into B2B space)
