Many businesses have the ability to take orders on the web by manually entering the orders into their existing order processing systems (referred to as legacy systems). WGE integrates your web ordering system with your legacy system(s), improving your order cycle times, reducing dropped orders, and costs associated with manual order processing while improving the customer experience.

Many organizations utilize a sales/affiliate network to drive order volume without the cost of a traditional sales force. However, as affiliate networks increase in size, multiple formats for accepting orders securely are required to maintain participation and growth. In addition to providing multiple secure formats, automation of these affiliate orders is of paramount importance. WGE allows clients to avoid managing multiple order formats/transfer mechanisms by providing one solution that manages multiple formats, including: manual web upload, secure web post, web services, secure email, and more. All formats are transformed by WGE to comply with the client's existing business process. WGE delivers a fully automated solution to eliminate any manual processing of these previously fragmented order formats.

If you would like to securely deliver purchase orders electronically, and automatically provide an order acknowledgment to your legacy system, WGE delivers the solution. WGE delivers a common application for all suppliers to utilize, with the added convenience of multiple delivery formats and options, including: web, email, standard file transfer protocol (FTP) and many more. This solution provides clients with greater visibility in the purchasing cycle, which allows for better management and decision making.

Information systems have grown increasingly complex over time. Many organizations have increased this complexity with the addition of other company/department legacy systems. Integrating these systems through traditional means can be costly and time consuming. Utilizing WGE as strategic middleware avoids duplicate manual entry, batch updates, data synchronization and other management problems resulting from dependent and/or isolated legacy systems. WGE can be configured to support other middleware products such as message queues, relational databases, and web services. This use of WGE provides legacy systems with a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to leverage for additional efficiencies.
