We here at Xebec have several alternatives that we can use to help you connect to trading partners using AS1, AS2 or AS3 technologies.  

nuPath EDI-INT, an offering of nuBridges allows companies to easily roll out AS1, AS2 or AS3 initiatives as an alternative to purchasing software and investing resources in setup and configuration of that software. You save money and configuration time by reducing the need to rework your network, write bridging processes, or setup and configure software.

This is the solution for customers looking to bridge the gap between the VAN capabilities and the EDI-INT capabilities. DataTrek will simply send your electronic transactions to the EDI*Net network using a variety of protocol choices, and then the network takes care of converting the connection to an EDI-INT compatible one and delivering your data to your partners.

Key Features:

truExchange EDI-INT Windows software

truExchange EDI-INT fits easily and securely into your environment. Unlike other EDI-INT solutions, our  solution allows you to run your secure EDI-INT transacting in your existing network infrastructure without putting your private keys and unencrypted data in your DMZ. You save money and configuration time by reducing the need to rework your network or write bridging processes.

With truExchange EDI-INT, your EDI-INT transacting can take place securely in your LAN right next to your EDI translator. Security is ensured since no data or keys are accessible by intruders. Our EDI-INT server can run wherever you want, including behind your firewall. However, for those who wish to stop incoming transactions in their DMZ, the solution is bundled with an AS2 server for your DMZ that only stores encrypted AS2 transactions. Those transactions can either be retrieved by or redirected to your EDI-INT software in your LAN.

Corvedia's AS2 Solution

Corvedia, another VAN we have worked very successfully with, offers a solution almost identical to the nuPath EDI-INT solution.  Often it is the best fit for a particular challenge facing our clients.  Again, DataTrek will continue to interface to the Corvedia EDI Network to send and receive data, and COrvedia takes care of the rest.  They will transmit the EDI data to the EDI-INT trading partner.  Their solution is very low cost and meets Xebec's strict standards for reliability.
