Full Service
We not only look after your systems’ connections, we also coordinate the integration of your business partners and their processes directly with their contacts at your company. We set up communications connections and mapping and ensure that your processes and communications function smoothly and reliably. And we support every conceivable communications format, including EDIFACT, XML, ANSI X.12, VDA, and application specific formats like iDoc, Navision and many others. Even solutions developed in-house can be quickly and easily connected to our tested and proven infrastructure.
We also communicate with you and your partners using all available channels, including FTP, http, X.400, AS/2, SAP-RFC and others. Our communications channels are operated in distributed data centers, making them redundant, providing an extremely high level of availability and making the transmission of large amounts of data possible.

System Autonomy
Even if you have in-house EDI expertise and professionals who have the best knowledge of your systems, we can operate a communications platform for you that you can run in-house yourself. We make our data centers and solutions available to you and you use them to integrate your communications partner in the way you usually do. This saves you having to operate the hardware and the redundant distribution of the technological components in data centers, allowing you to concentrate on what is most important: communicating with your business partners.
