1 HPE SLMS Business to Business Integration (B2Bi) Program

2 HPE Software Licensing and Management Solutions (SLMS) Business to Business Integration (B2Bi) Program Helping clients leverage their e-procurement investment The Hewlett Packard Enterprise SLMS B2Bi program allows clients to leverage their investment in their e-procurement systems, while compounding the benefits of this investment by providing direct integration into HPE's content and order fulfillment systems. This allows for a more fully automated end-to-end procurement process, and eliminates redundancies and inefficiencies. HPE's B2Bi program offers a standardized solution that supports client systems using Ariba, SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Oracle and other custom applications. B2Bi is specifically designed for clients with internally deployed e- procurement systems, or that procure through e-marketplaces, and enables clients to purchase HPE SLMS 3rd party products and services.

4 Online Services Punch-out HPE SLMS offers Online Services (OLS) Punchout to all clients that wish to integrate their purchasing system with our order management system. It allows the client to punchout directly from their own e-procurement system (i.e. Ariba, SAP SRM, Oracle) to our proprietary online ordering tool OLS. OLS Punchout is part of HPE s broader Business-to-Business Integration Program, which is an HPE corporate standard. By using the OLS Punchout store, clients experience the following e- procurement benefits: Real-time pricing No data management requirements e.g. do not have to load catalogs HPE keeps catalog data current Easy access to complete product data

5 Summary steps required for B2B Integration* Business Rules B2Bi Set-up B2Bi Testing Go-Live Client to share vendor reference documents with HPE SLMS regarding business rules and pre-requisites in relation to Punch-out and XML purchase orders. Exchange of information required for client set-up on HPE B2Bi server and vendor set-up on client s e- procurement system. Testing of integration in two phases: Phase1 Punch-out testing Phase 2 Purchase order submission testing Go-live date schedule, depending on outcome of testing. This requires sign-off from HPE SLMS on both test phases. *HPE SLMS dedicate a B2B Program Manager to guide you through the process and fully implement your Global B2B integration solution

8 Authentication and Security HPE s Business to Business integration (B2Bi) server authenticates all documents and requests it receives. The authentication process keys on unique credentials automatically sent from the client s e-procurement system, which must authenticate with the matching unique keys on file with HPE. HPE requires all xml transactions be encrypted using HTTPS to provide an added level of security for both HPE and our clients. All setup and configuration are confidentially managed by HPE SLMS B2B Program Manager and client s B2B IT teams.
