Requisite Technology Inc., announced the availability of the Contract Manager add-on module for the eMerge Content Management system. For suppliers, the eMerge Contract Manager offers the ability to export product information with customer-specific pricing models in multiple XML formats to marketplaces and buyers using commerce platforms from Ariba, CommerceOne, Oracle, SAP and others. Marketplace customers can assign contract information and pricing models to product data from multiple suppliers within their eMerge systems. Buying organizations also benefit from the eMerge Contract Manager, gaining the ability to create for suppliers specific contracts and pricing information, and organize that information in multiple formats for use in a production catalog environment. Buyers also can allow suppliers to self-author contract and pricing information in a hosted environment, providing a single point of administration for content, contracts and pricing. Using the eMerge Contract Manager, supplier and buying organizations can merge and export data – product information, pricing and contract terms – into a user-specified XML format for loading into their production catalog. Product data with price models attached then can be exported into a production environment in multiple XML formats. www.requisite.com
