企业间开发信息系统共享接口存在的问题
为解决供应链企业之间信息交换的障碍,一些信息化基础较好的企业通过开发信息系统数据接口的方式来达到信息共享的目的,即:有合作关系的企业间逐对进行数据集成。但这种定制开发的方式有其自身无法克服的弊端。
In order to solve the problem of information exchange between enterprises in supply chain, enterprise some good information-based foundation to achieve the purpose, shared information through the development of information system data interface mode: cooperation between enterprises to integrate data from. But this custom development mode could not overcome its own shortcomings.
有合作关系企业间逐对进行数据集成的解决方案,需要企业双方须均具备一定的技术能力,并消耗大量人力、物力和财力以及一定的时间成本。这种方式虽然能够实现信息的自动交换,但此类信息交换系统有两个明显的缺陷:一是服务范围小,局限于指定的供应链企业;二是当现有供应链企业的信息系统升级或有新的供应链企业加入时,须再次开发,企业接入周期长,成本高。
A cooperative relationship between enterprises by solution of data integration, enterprises need both sides must possess certain technical skills, and consume a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources and time cost. Although this method can realize the automatic information exchange, but such information exchange system has two shortcomings: one is the scope of services, limited in supply chain enterprises designated; two is when the upgrading of existing enterprises in supply chain information system or supply chain enterprise new join, must be re development, enterprise access cycle the long, high cost.
同时,企业在使用的过程中还要面临成本、机会、安全等多方面的风险。首先,上下游企业间的合作关系通常是动态的、相对稳定的,一旦双方的合作终止,上述数据集成的接口将被废弃,大量投资将无法收回,因此导致企业在选择合作伙伴时受成本因素“绑架”;其次,一个生产企业有多少个物流供应商就要建立多少个接口,一个物流供应商服务于多少家生产企业也要建立多少个接口,这一方面导致企业数据集成成本是开放的,不可控的,同时另一方面也导致了社会成本的大量浪费;最后,出于对自身信息系统安全性的考虑,企业间直接的数据交换也容易引发的企业决策者对自身系统数据安全性的顾虑。
At the same time, enterprises also face the risk, opportunity cost, safety and other aspects of the process in use. First of all, on the lower reaches of the cooperation between enterprises is often dynamic, relatively stable, once the termination of the cooperation, interface of the data integration will be abandoned, a lot of investment will be unable to recover, thus causes the enterprise the cost factors "kidnapping" in the choice of partners; second, a number of logistics enterprises the supplier is to establish the number of interface, a logistics service provider in many production enterprises to establish the number of interface, on the one hand, causes the enterprise data integration cost is open, uncontrolled, while on the other hand also resulted in a massive waste of social costs; finally, out of their own information system security consider, too easily lead to business decision makers on the system data safety concerns directly to the data exchange between enterprises.
这些问题的存在使得企业间信息交换成为制约供应链企业合作与发展的瓶颈,而现有解决方案中企业对所接受信息的处理消耗了过多的资源,并面临较大的风险,也存在很大不足。因此,企业迫切需要一个工具或平台,使得外界传入企业的单证数据都是与本企业相宜的格式,使得企业能够对大量单证信息进行快速响应和协同管理。
These problems make the exchange of information between enterprises become the bottleneck restricting the development and cooperation in supply chain enterprises, and enterprises in the existing solution treatment on the acceptance of information consumption of too much resources, and face greater risk, also has a lot of problems. Therefore, enterprises urgently need a tool or platform, makes the outside world incoming documents of the enterprise is and the enterprise appropriate format, so that enterprises can carry out rapid response and collaborative management for a large number of documents and information.
