Vendor Integration OptionVendor Integration Option

• System-to-system integration offered as an alternative to using the web portal

• Purchase orders received from Carestream Health are transformed into an electronic file and automatically routed to the vendor– The file format allows the vendor to directly load them into their business

system

• Return documents (acknowledgements, ship notices, invoices) created in the vendor’s business system are automatically routed to EC Outlook system– EC Outlook transforms them into SAP IDOCS for Carestream Health just

like web forms

• All documents sent via integration are still available and functional on the web portal

• All document types, workflow and business rules are the same as web forms

• The cost for SummaTG to develop, test, and deploy the integration is paid by the vendor – one-time fee without any recurring charges
