SAP Information Interchange OnDemand (FKA. SAP Information Interchange by Crossgate) is a B2B / EDI solution powered by the SAP AG that allows companies to exchange electronic documents (like purchase orders, forecasts, invoices, delivery notes and many more) via their SAP applications.

Overview

Electronic documents are delivered through a centralized canonical B2B repository. Integration with SAP applications is available through direct Intermediate Document IDoc/Remote Function Call (RFC) application interfaces, in combination with SAP Process Integration as a middleware layer, and via direct consumption of Enterprise Services.^[1]

History

The German company Crossgate AG launched their so called “Business Ready Network” which supports standards-based, custom EDI and B2B integration of business partners, clients and suppliers. In order to simplify business network enablement, Crossgate had created pre-packaged Services for specific business processes, industries and SAP applications. In 2008 SAP became a shareholder in Crossgate. Later the two companies furthered their partnership by entering into a global reseller agreement that allowed SAP to offer their customers Crossgate’s B2B Content Engine as an SAP Solution Extension.^[2]

In 2011 SAP acquired Crossgate with the goal to “instantly Connect SAP Customers and Their Business Partners for Networking at Enterprise Level”.^[3] The Solution was renamed from "SAP Information Interchange by Crossgate" to SAP Information Interchange OnDemand.

Technology

SAP Information Interchange OnDemand is a document exchange service that is operated in a cloud computing environment. It utilizes SAP's NetWeaver platform as a foundation for the service which makes integrating with SAP users that already run NetWeaver very simple. Companies without SAP NetWeaver can activate the service using IDocs or RFC. The service requires subscription and is offered as a fixed cost solution (fixed license fee, fixed cost managed services).^[4]
