Take a look under the hood of even the most simple business and today you will find complex trading partnerships between independent bodies, which probably often span continents. Inter-business collaboration is the zeitgeist of 2008. The distinction between customer and supplier is blurred as shared interests define relationships.

Terrapin Technical Services have been developing custom solutions for business collaboration since 1996.

Excellence is found in highly refined and focussed disciplines. Specialisms, seamlessly knit together by technology, increasingly comprise what, from the outside, appear cohesive business operations. The adhesive that binds together the parts determines the whole. This adhesive is technology and this technology is Collaborative Internet Systems. The approach to building systems which unify the needs of many disparate trading partners is unique.

Be it the real-time integration of trading systems, or the development of a transaction hub for many thousands of trading partners, TTS have the experience of making business collaboration work. We build custom Internet based systems that bring together many parties to serve a common goal.

Sometimes collaboration may mean needing to share information between partners. In other cases collaboration may involve moving a transaction through multiple parties, each with their own role to play in completing the transaction, underpinned by shared accounting and operational needs.

Whatever the complexities of the collaborative framework, business is becoming custom made.
