Case Study: International Paper achieves simplified, lower-cost real-time B2B integration with Liaison Technologies

Liaison Relieves the Pain of Acquisitions for International Paper

International Paper, a global paper and packaging leader and one of the largest private landowners in the U.S., faced a growing integration challenge: dozens of trading formats and a complex EDI architecture that had accumulated through multiple acquisitions. The company needed an affordable, phased business-to-business strategy to electronically connect thousands of suppliers and buyers in real time while managing legacy systems and diverse partner capabilities.

International Paper adopted the Liaison Integration Platform as a single connection point to simplify and standardize B2B communications. The solution enabled more automated, real-time transactions, reduced errors and connectivity costs, and made it easier to reach diverse trading partners—positioning Liaison as a logical first step toward the company’s long-term single-infrastructure goal.
