TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote is a light-weight and very easy-to-use software application that allows your small trading partners to participate in B2B ecommerce with you (and only you). Figure 1 illustrates B2B ecommerce between a large company using TIBCO BusinessConnect and its small trading partner using BusinessConnect Remote. While the large company has powerful servers with many integrated applications and tons of data, the small company requires minimal space on a basic Windows or Linux desktop system to run BusinessConnect Remote software.
Sending and receiving documents using BusinessConnect Remote software is as easy as sending and receiving email. Your partner places outgoing documents in the outbox and looks for incoming documents in the inbox.
In addition to sending and receiving business documents, BusinessConnect Remote allows your partner to watch the processing of these documents in real-time by viewing the real-time logs.
After purchasing and downloading the software from TIBCO, distribute the software to your small trading partners those that do not have a B2B solution. TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote includes complete documentation that will guide your partner in installing, deploying, and using the software. The documentation is written for non-technical users.
You can streamline the deployment process for your partners by anticipating their needs. Chapter 2, Helping Your Partner Deploy provides more information about these partner needs:
