Partner Collaboration (PC)

In the Flat World, Discrete Manufacturing companies must collaborate more closely with a network of partners and suppliers. However, a majority of partners of large companies remain unconnected. Integration with back-end systems accounts for up to 60% of the total cost of B2B implementation. As a result, companies have silo-based processes, slow time-to-market and high levels of inventory.

To improve collaboration across the supplier network, Discrete Manufacturing companies need to:
  • Quantify the benefits of collaboration to create buy-ins from internal and external stakeholders
  • Determine factors critical to the success of the adopted trading partner collaboration strategy
  • Ensure that partner collaboration practices match latest industry benchmarks and trends


Infosys' Partner Collaboration (PC) solution reduces on-boarding cycle time by integrating unconnected partners of large organizations. Our total cost of ownership oriented approach helps design solutions that justify investments and offers quantifiable savings in operating costs. The technology-agnostic collaboration vision ensures minimum impact on dynamic technologies and standards.
