SAP Acquires EDI and e-Invoicing Company - Crossgate


Today it was announced that Crossgate, the developers of SAP's SAP Information Interchange, are going to be  acquired by SAP.  SAP had always been a significant investor and supporter of Crossgate, and many of us thought this would be the natural result of this relationship.

Here is the press release

Here is an article from ZDnet on the acquisition.

For those of you that may not know Crossgate, they build services that allow multiple trading partners to exchange data even if partners have different technology platforms.  It is a managed services EDI/B2B hub.

Crossgate manages global e-invoicing for large companies around the world.  They offer solutions for Mexico e-Invoicing, Brazil e-Invoicing, Argentina and over 35 other countries.

This is very interesting news indeed.
