OTM / EBS Integration – Avoiding Pitfalls

Chris Plough, MavenWire

The presentation will include an overview of how the two systems integrate at a high level. We will then delve deeper and describe and diagram the flows between EBS and OTM, for the following processes: Sales Orders, Purchasing, Payables, Rates and Ship Methods. With that complete, we will discuss lessons learned from the projects, including the relative maturity of this integration offering, data mapping issues (particularly around units of measure and delivery dates), synchronization of shared data (including locations, carriers and service levels) and understanding several key terminology differences between the two products. Finally, we will end with a Q and A session, so that attendees can get answers to related questions or delve deeper into particular segments for greater detail.
