What is Axway Business Network?
Axway Business Network is a modern B2B VAN (Value-Added Network) solution that enables organizations to connect and exchange EDI data with partners across multiple networks through a single point of control, while also supporting API-driven automation and self-service capabilities.
It helps organizations simplify B2B operations, automate data exchanges, and improve flexibility, security, and cost efficiency.
How is Axway Business Network different from traditional VAN providers?
Traditional VAN providers often operate as closed, expensive, and fragmented networks, requiring multiple connections and offering limited visibility and flexibility.
Axway Business Network modernizes this approach by:
- Providing a single access point to multiple VANs and private networks
- Enabling centralized visibility and management of transactions and partners
- Offering self-service capabilities, reporting, and real-time visibility
- Supporting API-driven innovation to enable new business use cases
- Delivering a more cost-efficient and flexible commercial model
How does Axway Business Network simplify multi-VAN management?
Axway Business Network allows organizations to connect to 200+ pre-connected VANs and private networks, including providers such as IBM and OpenText, without managing each connection individually.
Instead of maintaining separate connections, contracts, and configurations for each VAN, organizations can manage everything through a single interface and your preferable connection, with centralized tracking, governance, and reporting.
This simplifies operations, reduces complexity, and provides greater visibility and control across the entire B2B ecosystem.
How does Axway Business Network reduce costs and vendor dependency?
Traditional VAN models often involve high fees, rigid contracts, and strong vendor lock-in, making it difficult to optimize costs or switch providers.
Axway addresses this by:
- Enabling network consolidation and reducing the number of VAN providers
- Offering a more transparent and flexible pricing model
- Allowing organizations to choose the most cost-effective communication method, whether through Axway Business Network (VAN) or Direct EDI via Axway B2Bi.
This helps organizations optimize costs, reduce dependency on individual providers, and gain greater control over their B2B communication strategy.
Why choose Axway Business Network?
Axway Business Network combines modern VAN capabilities with centralized control and flexibility, helping organizations simplify and optimize their B2B communications. It provides full visibility over transactions, partners, and costs, while centralizing access to 200+ VANs and private networks, ensuring secure and reliable data exchange, and offering self-service capabilities to manage connections, partners, and operations more efficiently.
By supporting both VAN and Direct EDI strategies through integration with Axway B2Bi, Axway enables organizations to improve cost efficiency, increase agility, and move toward a more scalable and future-ready B2B network strategy.
