It’s been almost two weeks since I facilitated our Project Initiation Workshop at the Oakland, CA HQ of Office Relief. It was an intense and exhilarating two days where we demonstrated a live B2B eCommerce website integrated to their SAP QA system. We “threatened” to put the website into production the following Monday and asked the simple question of “why can’t we?”. (This is how our standard Agile Implementation Methodology, that I’ve written about over the years, works.)

Content is king.
That’s the conclusion we’ve come to as we enter our fourth year of business at b2b2dot0. Real time integration into SAP are the table stakes when deploying a B2B Webshop.

This is one of those matches made in heaven. It just makes so much sense!
eCommerce websites and credit cards are like bread and butter. Each is good by itself, but they are so much better together.

I used to loathe EDI (electronic data interchange). Its promise to totally automate the industrial supply chain with “hands free” computer-to-computer interchange of key business documents seemed to threaten the fundamental existence of b2b2dot0. We had a bit of drama at b2b2dot0 last week that…once again…reinforced the fact that while hype may make our job difficult, reality presents our opportunities.
Thinking Document Management? Think Esker.
I just came across a post with this title over at the itelligence blog. That reminded me that I’ve yet to formally announce our relationship with Esker,which we entered into at the end of last year. So that’s the subject of today’s post.

Now that we’re approaching close to 70,000 visits, and almost $10M of revenue, per month from our various B2B websites, I think it’s time to reflect on what we’re learning from an analytics’ perspective. If for no other reason than to establish benchmark metrics that can guide future SAP Integrated sell-side B2B ecommerce projects across the industry. I wish we had access to this information when we got started!

Over the last several months, we’ve had several conversations with manufacturers who have told us that their primary means of receiving orders from their customers is via EDI or FAX/email. Furthermore, because of their desire to provide superb customer services to their customers, that was not going to change in the near future. They reasoned that if that was their customers’ preferred way to interact with them, who were they to tell them otherwise? They certainly were not going to ask their customers to retype their orders into an eCommerce website!

We spent the better part of 2009 deploying our service internationally. In fact, a quick scan of Google Analytics shows that our client’s customers transacted business with them through our SAP Integrated b2b websites from over 50 countries around the world. Blount really led the charge this year by deploying language specific microsites to France, Germany, Russia, Belgium, Sweden, the UK and Canada.

Combine a great idea with bright, passionate and motivated people, a little bit of money, and empower them with Agile processes and tools and magic can happen. It's that simple…and it's that hard. I can honestly say that one of the keys to our success of the past two years has been the way we've embraced our collaboration tool, CentralDesktop. So when CentralDesktop approached me to have a case study written about us, I jumped at the chance. Partly because I wanted to let them know how important they were to us, and partly because I'm always looking for free publicity
