Products | Trading Partner Management

Healthcare organizations face significant challenges in managing trading partner transactions that flow through multiple systems. Every application that requires trading partner information must be accurately configured in order to perform the necessary tasks. Maintaining trading partner agreement data and keeping it synchronized across multiple systems is time-consuming and expensive. Utilizing inconsistent partner agreement data can make it difficult to troubleshoot problems, which leads to errors in downstream systems which can result in complaints from members and providers.

Edifecs Trading Partner Management (TPM) provides a centralized repository for all trading partner information. This information is used to help manage the configuration of applications involved in processing partner transactions. After a trading partner’s profile, agreement and transaction capabilities are stored in a version controlled database, these configuration data can be shared with gateways, middleware and validation engines.  This decreases partner onboarding and support costs and reduces transaction errors.

In combination with TPM, XEngine can validate, split and route transactions based on trading partner information and transaction type. Using application plug-ins, Trading Partner Management can also update partner configuration settings in third-party applications such as the Axway B2B Gateway.

• Reduce partner onboarding and support costs by using partner agreement templates to simplify management of partners with similar trade relationships. Edifecs Trading Partner Management also lowers costs through a partner portal that provides self-registration and multiple self-service functions.
• Reduce errors with a single source of truth for partner information that can be shared by all applications dependent on partner-specific configuration information.
