In this exclusive agreement, Cisco will bring secure network management to auto-xchange. In addition to handling Ford's transaction volume, auto-xchange is actively recruiting other automotive companies to utilize this massive online business transaction environment to gain purchasing efficiency and economy of scale. The kit will enable suppliers to gain immediate, secure access to auto-xchange and begin transacting business when the site is fully operational later next month. For the past six years, Cisco has worked aggressively to develop a collaborative relationship for manufacturing, product development and order management with its own suppliers. As a result production lead times have been cut in half and 60 percent of its product volume is now shipped through direct fulfillment.
