From the Paper:

"Given the highly confidential nature of the pricing, product, service, and distribution data delivered to channel partners and the applications for order status, online ordering, and quoting being central to the structure of the company, the business and security risks of placing all these sources of information and applications is a risk. The bigger risk however is doing nothing at all, and having competitors find an approach that works for serving, gaining loyalty, and eventually maximizing the revenue contribution of the indirect sales channels that both system initiatives are built to serve."
