US business-to-business (B2B) integration services provider Crossgate has extended the coverage of its on-demand B2B services in order to assist Brazilian customers in meeting the upcoming 1st April 2010 mandates by providing a Nota Fiscal Eletronica (NF-e) service.

Under Brazilian law, the NF-e is replacing the conventional, hard-copy nota fiscals with an electronic counterpart which must be digitally signed and shaped into a particular government specified XML format. For many organizations, this switch must be accomplished by 1st April 2010.

Crossgate’s on-demand NF-e service fully complies with the Nota Fiscal Eletronica initiatives, provides real-time integration with SEFAZ and SAP R/3 and supports over 38 countries in the EU and Latin America.

Crossgate’s Business-Ready Network provides integration services for a company’s business partners, clients and suppliers. By connecting to its network, companies can carry out electronic data exchange activities with any business partner regardless of their technical capability. Crossgate's B2B-360° business process outsourcing (BPO) services are powered by SAP and provide clients direct access to all integrated business partners in the B2B transaction network via their SAP systems.
