EDI VAN

Overview

By managing and maintaining its own hosted EDI network infrastructure, EasyLink is a top-tier EDI VAN provider with feature-rich sets of services that include InLine Translation services, AS2, security, accounting, web administrative tools, and more public and private connections than any other EDI VAN.

 

At the core of our EDI VAN service is a world-class EDI transaction engine that leverages EasyLink’s fully redundant, secure, global infrastructure, and provides:

• Message processing between all of EasyLink’s EDI Services
• Web Applet Tools to track, monitor, and report on your transactions

Outside our EDI Technology Core is our EDI VAN Service, which features:

• AS2 (EDIINT): EasyLink was a pioneer in integrating EDIINT Services (AS2) into its EDI architecture. Our AS2 services enable you to trade with any partner that requires the use of AS2, without you having to invest in or manage an AS2 solution of your own
• Mapping and InLine Translation Services: EasyLink’s TradeGateway, our own InLine Translation Service, frees you from your current on-premises EDI Translator at a significant cost-savings
• Flexible Reporting: Outputs in a variety of common file formats
