Wal-Mart and AS2 Processing

To meet Wal-Mart requirement that vendors implement AS2 processing to replace the old bisync communication methods.

Solution

DCS assessed the various Drummond Certified AS2 options available, including the software offered to Wal-Mart vendors with only a small annual maintenance fee. DCS analyzed how well the various solutions would integrate with existing EDI solutions and recommended two alternatives for two different scenarios. One solution for Wal-Mart vendors with no other foreseeable AS2 trading partners and one solution for vendors that expect other trading partners to request AS2 processing in the future. After the customer selected a solution, DCS implemented and tested the process, and trained users on the new process.

Result

The customer was able to meet Wal-Mart's expectations well ahead of deadlines and is realizing the benefits of the nearly instantaneous data integration with their valued trading partner. DCS has worked on over 15 Wal-Mart AS2 projects as well as a few Home Depot AS2 projects and others. Now, as new requirements emerge, DCS same day support keeps key customers happy.
