SupplySolution and Covisint

Last class, the professor mentioned about Covisint. Through the class, I was very interested about this company. “Real-Time Software Drives Covisint's Supply Chain” discusses that the relationship between this company and SupplySolution Inc., a supply-chain software vendor whose customers include 10 of the largest automotive-industry suppliers and more than 700 smaller ones.
SupplySolution and Covisint will jointly develop supply-chain execution applications that may include real-time ordering, planning, and logistics software. Under the agreement, SupplySolution's i-Supply Service, i-GetIt, and Global Infrastructure products will be used to create an integration infrastructure, or hub, that will let suppliers and automakers use their existing supply-chain management, customer-relationship management, and enterprise resource planning applications to do real-time business with one another via Covisint.
SupplySolution's offerings will be available immediately to all Covisint customers on a subscription basis. Pricing was not disclosed.
I think this article is very useful for those automakers because it is showing the supply chain management of Covisint or Supplysolution will be stronger than they use to be. Therefore, they will increase production and potential marketplace for those automakers.
