The Collaboration Manager provides a straightforward mechanism to enable your OneOffice system to converse with the systems of your customers, suppliers and logistics partners, as well as other systems inside your business.

As an enabler for Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce, the Collaboration Manager supports industry standards such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

supply chain management
Collaboration Manager is a key component to help you participate in Supply Chain Management (SCM) initiatives to share information in real-time with your partners across your supply and value chains. In many communities manufacturers, as part of their partnering criteria, are driving these initiatives. The Collaboration Manager is designed to make it straightforward for businesses using OneOffice to take an active part in these programmes.

web services
Web Services are becoming an important route to share information business partners. For example a Web Services could be made available to provide price and stock availability information to the systems of customers and resellers. In this scenario when a reseller required price information, their system would ask your system to provide it in real-time across the internet. Web services can also be used to share information between internal systems across your intranet.
