Blackwater Network We succeed when we drive costs out of your business processes.   Our founder, Art Douglas, hates repetitive tasks.  He thinks they are boring and wasteful.  He knows that waste increases costs and dilutes profits.  That is why he started Blackwater Network.   How does information flow within your company?  How does it flow between your company and your suppliers, or your customers?  Blackwater Network's expert consultants can drive out waste by improving the way you communicate business information.    Is EDI too expensive?  We know how to implement EDI as a cost-effective tool that will drive out waste and errors, and make you a more attractive business partner.    Are you looking at XML?  We use tools that simplify XML communications.    Are VAN costs eating into your profits?  (You probably can guess what comes next.)  Yep, we have some great alternatives there, too.    Would you like to cut costs, but don't know where to begin?  Our consultants have been championing solutions that save our clients time and money for nearly 35 years.
