Highest Available EDI Solution—Guaranteed

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) / B2B eCommerce is the method of choice for critical communications with trading partners throughout the global supply chain.

ANX Delivers Superior EDI

ANX provides superior EDI value in three critical areas:

1. Availability. ANX uniquely places EDI traffic on multiple ANX-certified VANs. ANX constantly monitors its VAN providers and will work with customers to make changes as needed, if their needs can be better met on a different ANX-certified VAN. This flexibility enables ANX to offer the industry’s best standard service level agreements, and provides customers the peace-of-mind to know they are not tied to one VAN. They can switch providers if desired—with no need to change contracts or pay migration fees.
2. Security. ANX runs one of the world’s largest managed networks and is a leading pioneer in secure cloud computing. With ANX EDI, a single data stream connects you to the ANX cloud for a completely secure delivery of every B2B transaction to all trading partners.
3. Service. ANX has earned an extraordinary service reputation with over three decades of experience providing business transaction solutions. Our expert support is staffed in multiple locations in North America rather than off-shoring the service function. Our experts have an average of 12 years’ EDI experience for fast and immediate issue resolution.

ANXVelocity® Multi-VAN Network

ANXVelocity® is a unique integration platform that enables and streamlines cross-enterprise business processes. With a multi-VAN architecture, ANXVelocity® helps customers achieve 100% automation with trading communities while providing reduced risk via VAN Redundancy—a solution not available via your typical VAN Providers.

Typical VAN Implementations lock you into a contract with one VAN provider, limiting your flexibility, choice and increasing risks.
