In a business environment that is full of mergers and acquisitions and technology consolidations, data management is critical.

Cleo VLTrader provides security at the highest level while also providing visibility to transactions.

Integration automates businesses

Integrating and automating business processes that support sales operations, procurement, transportation, logistics, and other business functions is a cornerstone of modern business. Common examples include:

• Automating the processing of orders, invoices, ship notices, and other business transactions
• Automating responses to on- demand requests for product availability, pricing, and the status of orders, shipping, and other processes
• Automating the synchronization of business data with software-as-a- service (SaaS) applications, external partners, and offline analysis and reporting databases
• Automating inter-application processes by detecting and responding to application events

The benefits of automating such activities are compelling. Automation cuts processing costs, errors, and latency by replacing manual processes. It boosts business throughput and capacity, making more efficient use of existing resources. It improves the consistency and predictability of business process results. And it enables resource-constrained businesses to sustain volumes and service levels that were once exclusive to much larger companies.
