MessageWay Server
All MessageWay solutions include at least one MessageWay Server, and all MessageWay solutions provide several common benefits.
Eliminate Latencies in File Exchange
With so much e-business depending on file exchange, it’s critical to incorporate a solution that is proven to eliminate delays in delivering files to the proper destinations. MessageWay Server’s workflow, exception processing, and scheduling functions allow administrators to direct actionable files to specific business applications precisely when they’re needed.
Differentiate on Service
If a partner’s infrastructure is less than dependable, then streamlining your own file delivery processes may not be enough. MessageWay Server compensates for your customers’ B2B limitations by identifying late or missing file transmissions and notifying them, in advance, of potential financial consequences.
Automate Business Processes
MessageWay Server integrates business process management (BPM) capabilities that automate all necessary file validation and preparation processes in a controlled environment. MessageWay Server provides easy-to-use tools, such as the MessageWay management console ("Dashboard") and the MessageWay map development environment ("Workbench"), that enable establishment of intelligent workflow to control the unique processing requirements of every file exchanged with trading partners.
Consolidate and Modernize Transmission Systems
FTP servers and proprietary file movement clients often times proliferate below the radar. With MessageWay, legacy EDI systems and FTP platforms can be migrated onto a consolidated, streamlined B2B platform.
There are also several tightly integrated components that provide tailored combinations of file services for individual solutions.
