received, that requested products are shipped, and that the customer is appropriately billed. Companies need a way to automatically access information in any IT system and translate it into a standard format that can be shared with and understood by any other IT system. 4. REAL-TIME ANALYSIS. Business managers need to continuously monitor and analyze processes and key business metrics – such as late orders – to identify and respond to problems the moment they occur. Traditional decision support tools require information to be stored in a data warehouse before it can be analyzed. The resulting delay between information capture and subsequent analysis reduces a company's ability to respond to problems and opportunities in a timely manner. When business is conducted in “Internet time” this is unacceptable. Companies need a real-time analysis tool that allows them to analyze business information as soon as it is captured. Vitria has also pioneered and fostered the creation of “ecommunities” where a group of trading partners automate their intercompany business interactions. Vitria provides the tools and the expertise required to support these ecommunity participants as they link their business processes and applications over the Internet in an automatic and intelligent fashion. The result is automatic, system-to-system exchange of business information and transactions in real-time. The Vitria Business Network enables ecommunities to connect to richer network of communities and services including: •
Emerging trading exchanges and hubs where they can identify new trading partners and collaborate with them;
•
Internet-based business service providers that can enable a greater and richer range of transactions with trading partners in areas such as real-time credit check, electronic bill presentment and payment, and logistic services;
•
Application service providers who can host business applications for the community.
The Vitria Business Network provides the enabling technology platform and the infrastructure services that accelerate partnerships and simplify the formation of new hubs and exchanges into online markets that support electronic collaboration within and across industries.
