Case Study: Technicolor achieves consolidated, reliable global B2B data exchange with OpenText Trading Grid Messaging Service

Worldwide media technology leader consolidates global data exchange with OpenText™ Trading Grid™ Messaging Service

Technicolor, a global media-technology leader in visual effects, post-production and digital content delivery (and a major manufacturer of DVD/Blu‑ray discs), needed a stable, global B2B platform to automate order processing, accounts and logistics across a diverse, worldwide trading‑partner community. After years of growth and acquisitions the company was managing three separate EDI contracts (UK, US and France) and needed broad protocol support and integration with modern back‑end systems such as SAP.

Technicolor consolidated onto OpenText Trading Grid Messaging Service as a single, global contract and network, integrating with its document-translation tools and new SAP-based systems. The move delivered a reliable, globally available B2B data‑exchange platform (supporting EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, ANSI X12 and AS2), simplified management, improved manufacturing and supply‑chain efficiency, and the consistent, high‑quality service Technicolor required.
