Tavant System Architecture for Sell-side Channel Management

摘要

This paper describes the challenges in building a next generation e-business solution that allows businesses to manage their sell-side distribution channels especially when the channels involve independent participants such as dealers and distributors. We present the Tavant platform that provides a solution to this complex problem and discuss some key components of the platform - the X-tegration framework that brings together the systems of the channel players, the Collaboration framework that allows the creation of collaborative business networks, and the Application Delivery and Configuration framework that enables easy deployment of the channel management features.
