Case Study: ON Semiconductor achieves lower supply chain transaction costs and frictionless B2B exchanges with OpenText B2B Managed Services

ON Semiconductor Reduces Supply Chain Costs, Meets Customer Need For Seamless Exchange With Opentext B2B Managed Services

ON Semiconductor, a global supplier of power semiconductor devices, faced intense commodity pricing pressure and a fragmented customer base using multiple connectivity protocols (an average of 2.9 per customer, with EDI and RosettaNet common). To win share without competing on price, the company needed to simplify, speed and lower the cost of electronic transactions—purchase orders, shipping notices, acknowledgements and invoices—across a worldwide, 24/7 customer network.

ON Semiconductor adopted OpenText B2B Managed Services as a hosted VAN and translation hub to handle EDI, RosettaNet and other protocols, provide 24/7 monitoring, automatic matching/alerts and pay-as-you-go scalability. The solution let ON manage a single interface instead of hundreds, avoid large upfront infrastructure costs, flexibly absorb volume spikes, accelerate adoption of new standards and reduce supply‑chain transaction costs—helping the company increase its share of customers’ purchases.
