As part of our commitment to provide customers with flexible solutions, GXS provides two Community Link packages: Community Link and Community Link Global. With both service offerings, you can leverage our No Trading Partner Left Behind Service Level Agreement (SLA). The No Trading Partner Left Behind SLA guarantees that GXS will on-board 100% of your trading community or refund you for any portion of the community not implemented within a pre-specified timeframe.:

• Community Link Package—GXS will contact your entire trading community and offer those companies a range of service options including web forms, EDI, data synchronization, AS2 and more. GXS will also program manage your entire enablement effort, determine escalation procedures and provide supplier technical assistance. Customers receive detailed reporting and analytics, frequent status updates, online testing (for EDI programs), and customized community communications including educational materials, step-by-step instructions and informative, program-specific webinars. The Community Link Package is designed for single country enablement programs.
• Community Link Global Package—Community Link Global is designed for the unique and complex requirements of multi-country, global enablement programs. In addition to providing all services offered in the Community Link Package, customers will also benefit from a dedicated program manager, focused support contact, translated educational materials, and 24x7 assistance on a global basis.
