With no off-the-shelf product available, ABB Australia developed its own system using Microsoft BizTalk Server and Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Edition. The subsidiary now has a solution that goes beyond the basic compliance standard of its Swiss parent to improve the quality of information for managers, ensure accurate reporting, and minimize costs.
