GXS Takeover Inovis
After a long investigation in America by the Department of Justice the take-over of Inovis by GXS has been approved. Over the years users of EDI networks have moved from GXS over to Inovis in search of a better service and more reliable network platform. With the take-over comes the immediate thought of what is going to happen with each providers services. Uncertainty surrounds this area at the moment and there could well be the closure of InvoisWorks and a migration of all users onto GXS Trading Grid platform.
What does this mean to you?
If you were one of the unhappy customers of GXS previously then this could mean a return to the same level of service as before. Costs could increase and during the implementation of the take-over both companies could well be less efficient as they plan there resources carefully.
