Why TSANet Connect

TSANet Members can use the WebApp or integrate their system into TSANet Connect to improve the user experience and process compliance. TSANet vs Alternative solutions are compared below:

	TSANet Connect	Extranet	B2B Integration
Cost	Included with Membership	Usage model (example Per user)	High cost (~100k) per connection. Much higher if an external integration framework is not in place
Scalability & flexibility	Single Integration – Connect to One, Connect to Anyone. Supports all Partner Models: Certified, Solution, OEM and Service Provider	Multiple extranet access is an operational challenge. Drives bad security practices. Customer model often used	Duplicate costs per integration. Every new connection requires each company to budget & prioritize. Each Partner Model requires new integration
Security	ISO70001, ISO27701, Microsoft SSPA	No SSO, MFA, Shared accounts, Data protection	Depends on the Members IT Organization
User Experience	Consistent & Integrated experience	Swivel chair process – Not integrated	Missing features and Fragmentation (B2B with everyone not possible)
Ongoing Support	Support and continuous improvements	Based on multiple companies' extranet	Dependent on the IT prioritization and decisions of multiple companies. Slow to change or improve
