SMEs Have a Problem
An SME that wishes to trade with others in the automotive supply chain must use a
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system acceptable by both parties
However different organisations often use different EDI systems, often forcing
companies to support several ones; as a consequence very few SMEs are
connected as costs of doing so are too high
The existence of many EDI systems complicates business processes, reducing the
base pool of potential customers and suppliers and increasing costs

The Importance of B2B Platforms
Current portal applications alleviate the problem, but do not answer all of the
SMEs’ needs:
The B2B portals are often connected with manual data input and processing,
creating new workload rather than reducing existing one
Different portals means different layouts and processes, complicating use
Integrations between existing B2B service providers are few, if any
However, B2B portals are (and will remain) an essential part of the EDI
infrastructure!

The auto-gration Project
The auto-gration project is a European Commission initiative, supported by major
organisations of the automotive industry, that aims to simplify integration of SMEs
in automotive digital supply chains
This project is part of a series of initiatives under the EC’s “Small Business Act” to
harmonise eBusiness communication within European industries (e.g. the eBIZTCF project)
Title: auto-gration - Assisting SMEs to participate in global digital supply
chains in the automotive sector in the Single Market
Start / End Dates: 01/01/2010 - 31/12/2011 (24 months)

The auto-gration Project
The auto-gration project aims to
develop a Collaborative Reference
Architecture that works with
established EDI formats and
infrastructure
and
offers
connectivity via the auto-gration
Connector
SMEs working with many partners
will only need to support one
interface system, greatly reducing
their costs, expanding their
business, and encouraging notconnected companies to get
integrated
The auto-gration solution, being
low cost, can help B2B service
providers complete their service,
enabling them to become InterOperability Platforms (IOPs)
