Integrating Partner Solutions with VPO

The ultimate goal of any integration must be to create an integration

package that enables VPO and the partner solution to work so closely

together that they are perceived by the customer as one powerful,

integrated solution.

Figure 1-1 shows an overview of the integration process. It starts by

analyzing the VPO functionality and integration capabilities available,

and the characteristics of the partner solution. You can then design and

implement an integration strategy based on this analysis. As a result of

this activity an additional product part is created, referred to as the

integration package. An integration package may consist solely of

conﬁguration ﬁles, or it may include new code for additional processes.
