SCBN-DCS

On-cloud solution to convert all your fax and other physical
documents into EDI format

Approximately two-thirds of companies still use email, phone, fax, and postal mail for exchanging B2B transactions with at least 30% of their business partners.

Participation in B2B programs remains out of reach for many organizations due to a lack of technical skills, outdated technology, or budgetary restrictions. For enterprises it can be both expensive and inefficient to work with small trading partners who are not participating.

What is Document Conversion Services?
IBM® Document Conversion Services is a cloud-based solution that allows you to convert all fax, email, postal, and all other physical documents from your trading partners into EDI format. It helps extend business-to-business (B2B) capabilities to your business partners, regardless of their size, technical expertise, or budgetary restrictions.

Document Conversion Services is a part of IBM Supply Chain Business Network (SCBN), a cloud-based, digital business network that enables you to streamline collaboration with customers, suppliers, and trading partners across your supply chain by digitizing and automating B2B transactions. SCBN also offers users its inbuilt AI capabilities that deliver deep search and visibility into complete B2B transaction lifecycles to make faster and more informed decisions.
Document Conversion Services is a fax-to-EDI solution that converts faxes, email and postal mail into EDI or XML format to eliminate paper with a high level of efficiency and accuracy. It quickly avoids problems by detecting errors early and handles them more efficiently. It can also help lower B2B costs and improve cycle times and supply chain visibility.
