Exchanging data electronically with your business partners can be a burdensome task. Purchase orders. Invoices. Shipping notices. These critical transactions drive your business, but they can also slow it down. Companies are also increasingly being required by industry-leading enterprises to support popular data types like AS1, AS2 and AS3 to exchange EDI/XML over the Internet.

Optimize the exchange of business information.
Inovis BizConnect™ makes it easy to exchange critical information electronically with all of your partners, securely and cost-effectively.

BizConnect is an Internet EDI solution for the secure electronic exchange of purchase orders, invoices and other key business documents with your trading community and internally across your own organization. By leveraging the Internet, BizConnect can reduce administrative costs and labor-intensive paper processes—delivering improved accuracy, shortened lead times and immediate returns.

Designed for small to medium-size trading partners, BizConnect lets you transform, send and receive any data type (EDI, XML, ebXML, flat file, etc.) via multiple transport methods (HTTP/s, FTP, email, SMTP, etc.). It provides all of the functionality required to meet industry and trading partner requirements, and it even automatically routes data to any partner using that partner’s preferred data format and transport protocol.

Maximize investment with high degree of flexibility and interoperability
BizConnect is interoperable with AS1/AS2/AS3- and ebXML-certified Internet EDI solutions, ensuring the secure exchange of data with any business partner using a solution that supports standards-based data transport. Its open connectivity improves business processes by greatly simplifying back-office system integration and providing support for GS1, EPCglobal and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).

And, because BizConnect shares the same architecture as BizManager™, Inovis’ scalable server solution, you can easily upgrade to support the growth of your business or changing requirements.
