SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLY CHAIN AGGREGATION AND WEB SERVICES

摘要

An information management system comprises an entitlement engine (336), a communication module (308) including a web service aggregator, and a private exchange network (390) operable to link the entitlement engine with the web service aggregator. The web service aggregator comprises rules which are maintained in the private exchange network. The system has a core module (314) including the entitlement engine; a data management module (312), transaction module (316) and service management module (318) linked to the core module; and a database cluster (320) linked to the data management module. The system is configured to integrate a one-to-many business process interaction using on-demand supply chain management among enterprises who are customers of and suppliers to each other.
