The Open Supplier Network (The OSN) is the largest independent supplier network in the world with thousands of suppliers, over 21 million SKUs of catalogue content, millions of transactions and billions of dollars in spend per year. By efficiently managing transactions and communications with trading partners, The OSN accelerates return on investment by expanding the functionality of existing purchasing and procurement systems.

A single connection linking purchasing and eProcurement systems to The Open Supplier Network enables companies to access thousands of suppliers. Buyers and suppliers have the ability to send and receive POs and invoices by using a Web browser or the latest XML-based integration technologies.
