Crossgate AG Announces Expansion of UK Subsidiary
LONDON, February 11 /PRNewswire/ --
- London-based Crossgate UK, Limited offers B2B solutions to a wider
global audience
Crossgate AG, the first intelligent Business Ready Network and global
leader in electronic data interchange (EDI), accelerates its continuing
global reach with the expansion of its European operations. Crossgate UK,
Limited will be responsible for delivering "on demand" B2B solutions to a
large market of midsize and large companies in the United Kingdom, Ireland,
The Netherlands, Northern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Crossgate UK,
Limited, opened its doors in London in the fall of 2007.
With more than 34,000 business partners already connected to Crossgate's
Business Integration Platform (B.I.P.), Crossgate UK, Limited is now the only
B2B vendor focused on providing:
-- Reusable business content
Organizations don't have to reinvent the wheel and create technical
mappings for each new project. By focusing on a core philosophy of
standardization, Crossgate solutions allow customers and network
participants to take advantage of cost savings gained from reusability
and pre-defined integration touch points.
-- Fixed cost investment
Often, B2B service engagements spiral out of control with continuing
change requests and increasing time and material fees. Crossgate's
business model is both fixed and predictable. Decision makers and
purchasing executives will know in advance exactly what it will cost
to electronically exchange business documents with any global
customer, supplier, bank, government, or logistics partner.
-- A strategic B2B platform for SAP end users
Known as B2B 360 degrees, these on-demand services from Crossgate work
with existing SAP(TM) installations. Users of SAP(TM) software can
exchange business data electronically via EDI without any additional
components.
Crossgate UK Managing Director Rakesh Harji, former Managing Director for
SEEBURGER UK Limited welcomes the challenge of expanding the customer base
and management team at Crossgate UK. "I am really excited about what
Crossgate has to offer in terms of our value proposition and what we're
trying to achieve," says Rakesh. "This is something companies really need
today in order to be effective in collaborating with their business partners.
We have a unique concept of powering a global business network for our
customers while taking away all the pain and expense of them having to
connect to partners individually. This whole model will totally change the
face of what B2B means to companies."
Crossgate already operates Europe's largest central B2B transaction
network, so the opening of its London subsidiary, coupled with the opening of
subsidiaries in Paris and Atlanta, firmly establishes Crossgate as a global
vendor with the ability to address B2B requirements rapidly and successfully
for customers around the world.

Crossgate UK, Limited
In the future, electronic data exchange will be much like
electricity-available when required, flexible to the user's needs, paid for
as used, and provided by a small number of critical suppliers. Crossgate's
mission is to make this service as flexible, affordable, and simple for
companies as making a phone call. Crossgate provides electronic data
interchange (EDI) and related services as an on-demand Business Ready
Network. The heart of the system is the world's largest B2B transaction
network (B.I.P.). More than 34,000 companies already use B.I.P. to exchange
documents and data regardless of format and across all media. The new B2B 360
degrees Services, powered by SAP(TM), gives customers instant access from
their SAP(R) system to all business partners integrated in the platform.
Crossgate is represented in Europe at five sites in Germany, with
subsidiary branches in London, Milan, Paris, and the United States. For
