VAN CONNECTIVITY MADE SIMPLE

FULLY MANAGED VALUE ADDED NETWORKS

For many businesses, maintaining VAN connections is both time and cost intensive. ecosio's solution solves this by consolidating complex EDI landscapes into one fully managed connection.

VAN Connectivity Webinar

"Instead of an endless number of X.400 partners, we now have one single AS2 partner: ecosio – this significantly simplifies our monitoring. From our perspective, the conversion process – even with our international partners – was seamless!"

- Jens Kriese, Department of Business Process Technology and EDI | August Storck KG

VANs can be a big burden...

Value-Added Networks are closed EDI networks to which companies can be connected for B2B message exchange using various protocols such as AS2 or SFTP. Companies connected to VANs often face the following problems:

  • Expensive fees for setup and ongoing operation
  • Additional services such as message conversion or ERP system integration often not possible
  • Lack of transparency when it comes to errors

These factors add up quickly, especially when operating multiple VAN connections independently, making VANs economically inefficient. ecosio can help to relieve your company of these problems and reduce your costs effectively.

…WE TAKE OVER RESPONSIBILITY!

Value Added Networks are still popular and necessary in many B2B partner networks. However, instead of operating all VAN connections themselves and shouldering the resultant costs, companies can also have their VAN connectivity fully managed. With a single connection to ecosio’s Integration Hub, you become part of the ecosio B2B network, enabling you to reach all VANs worldwide and benefit from lower cost per message due to ecosio’s high message volume.

Operating VAN connectivity internally

The internal operation of VAN connections requires a high degree of effort and EDI expertise in the company. Cost per message is also significantly higher.

  • Expensive setup and operating costs per message
  • High internal effort for operation, monitoring and troubleshooting
  • No error notifications and no support for VAN problems
  • Reduced scope of functions (no Web EDI, no e-invoicing)
