Ford Motor Company's New GEC Hub for EDI Transactions over the Internet. --- Replaces the current SOLMIS System for EDI file transfers |
If you're reading this page, chances are that you currently rely on either Cleo® 3780Plus® or Cleo A+® or CTI Communications' FastSync® 3780 to link to Ford Motor Company's Supplier On-Line Management Information System (SOLMIS), dialing in either directly or through a value-added network (VAN).
As you probably know, Ford has asked suppliers to move from SOLMIS to their new Global Electronic Commerce ("GEC") Hub for EDI transactions in 2001.
What will be your new EDI connectivity method for Ford?
We are prepared to help you meet the challenge. A variety of products and services are available to facilitate your Ford EDI changeover, whether you plan to use dial-up or leased-line connections to Ford through the ANX (Automotive Network eXchange) network.
The LexiCom FTP/S software is already compatible with many VANs such as Harbinger's Trusted Link for Windows (formerly Supply Tech's STX EDI software), and support for leading EDI packages. (Please contact us with your specific EDI needs.) Click for LexiCom Information.
LexiCom FTP/S connects you to the ANX network for secure, unattended file transfer to and from Ford according to the schedule you set. The software can be coupled with these new Cleo services:
You'll need an ANX subscription, a certified ANX service provider, LexiCom FTP/S software, a LexiCom FTP/S script for each trading partner other than Ford, and training on the new environment.
