QAD Interoperability Framework: SanDisk's Journey with EDI ECommerce & QXtend

Learn how SanDisk interoperates with its customers to deliver increased value in the marketplace. SanDisk is making full use of QAD EDI ECommerce and QXtend to integrate its systems and processes required to support their aggressive growth strategy.
 
 SanDisk, the world's leading supplier of flash memory data storage card products, has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years seeing revenue top $1 billion in 2003 and $1.7 billion in 2004. They design, develop, manufacture and market their products, which are sold through more than 93,000 retail storefronts worldwide. SanDisk is making full use of QAD's interoperability solutions including EDI ECommerce and QXtend (both inbound and outbound). Both products have allowed SanDisk to replace in-house developed software with standard, off-the-shelf solutions, backed by QAD's support, documentation and services. By adopting a standardized Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) architecture, SanDisk IT is able to quickly adapt its integration processes as SanDisk's business model continues to rapidly evolve. This architecture integrates not only internal SanDisk systems but also SanDisk's systems with those of its customers, sub-contract manufacturers and logistics partners. It also pushes integration fault-resolution to the correct section of the enterprise. This presentation will show SanDisk's EAI architecture and highlight the importance of EDI ECommerce and QXtend within it.
