The Internet has become the network of choice for B2B communications for Electronic Documents. Many industry leading Retailers have either mandated or requested their suppliers to participate in this migration to the Internet.

The CWX*AS2 Hosting Service is designed to provide complete AS2 capabilities, at reduced costs, for those suppliers that provide products to the retailers that have an AS2 mandate.

Secure and reliable transport of business documents through firewalls, around network outages and via predetermined fail-over networks using standard implementations of FTP, AS1 and AS2 form the foundation of the COMMERCEWorx*AS2 Client Software solutions. CWX*AS2 is Certified AS2 OEM Interoperable by the Drummond Group (eBusinessready.org)

“For users not interested in implementing and employing their own EDI INT AS2 Solution, outsourcing to a service provider is an option. At higher volumes, the costs associated with outsourcing may exceed those of an in-house solution, but outsourcing will reduce the risks associated with failed connectivity between you an the hub.”

The CWX*AS2 Client solution sits between the HUB and a Supplier. CWX initiates the AS2/FTP communication testing with the HUB. Data is sent to CWX, if the Supplier is “awake” the data is passed straight through. I the Supplier is not “awake” CWX will mailbox the data until the Supplier is ready to receive it.

At the Supplier site the data will arrive in a raw EDI format and be manipulated exactly how that function is performed prior to AS2. If the data is destined for a CWX product, it will be Translated in-line an imported directly into C3000i for processing.

Data returning to the HUB will pass through CWX directly onto the HUB’s network. CWX handles all security protocols and acknowledgments required to achieve AS2 compliance.
