Automate, Secure, Manage and Assure Your B2B Data Exchanges

Automated exchange of information between business partners is a powerful IT enabler for achieving strategic business objectives. Across every industry, there are B2B projects in production or on the roadmap to achieve:

• Faster order-to-cash cycles
• Better customer service
• Faster visibility and response to revenue opportunities
• Increased business relationship stickiness
• Faster visibility and response to value-chain problems
• Lower cost of operations
• Reduced errors
• Compliance mandates and reporting

Whether you’re just beginning your B2B integration journey or, as Gartner aptly describes, you already have a plethora of “autonomous B2B projects that are based on a range of different technologies, including custom code and proprietary or, at best, uncoordinated B2B products that lack centralized control and process visibility, and that cannot easily adapt to changing business requirements,” nuBridges can help.

nuBridges Exchange can be implemented as a B2B gateway that makes it easier to do eBusiness throughout your extended enterprise. nuBridges Exchange gives IT a way to consolidate disparate pockets of B2B integration into one consistent infrastructure that’s easier to support and maintain, and provides:

• Reliability and high-availability – eBusiness depends on it
• Strong security for the transport pipes and the payloads
• Auditability for compliance with regulatory and corporate mandates
• Support for diverse communication protocols to make it easy for you and your partners to integrate : FTPs (SSL/TLS), sFTP (SSH), FTP with PGP, HTTP, HTTPs (SSL/TLS), AS2 and more
• Information exchange in diverse formats: For example, files of any type (spreadsheet, CAD/CAM, Photoshop, graphics, etc.), XML data and EDI transactions

In one integrated solution, nuBridges Exchange offers enterprise-grade managed file transfer designed from the ground up for both B2B and internal data exchanges, plus:

• Easy trading partner community management to establish and administer authorized B2B relationships
• Role-based provisioning for individuals and groups
• Delegation of authority so partners can maintain their own profile information via a self-service Web portal
• Easy on-boarding for trading partners large and small – including a secure, client-less Web interface for ad hoc file transfers
• Monitoring and proactive notification of B2B information exchange events according to rules you define
• End-to-end transactional visibility, integrity and non-repudiation
• Automatic document routing and exception handling based on rules you define
• Transaction chaining, file transfer choreography and pre/post processing so you can customize file transfer workflows to your business processes and retain visibility, integrity, logging, notifications, assured delivery, etc. (unlike scripting approaches, where you have no visibility once the scripts take over)
• Enterprise-savvy architecture - unlimited transactions, unlimited file size, clustering, DMZ implementation options and more
