What makes Axway different?
Flexible deployment options
Cloud strategies evolve — we get that. It’s why Axway’s robust deployment models are reversible and reusable, meaning we accommodate the true spectrum: from full cloud managed services to progressive hybrid deployment or on-prem.
Move fast with self-service capabilities
Traditional VAN vendors like OpenText can lack the agility and self-service options needed for 24/7 business. With Axway, no need to open a ticket: apply changes on the fly and get new B2B/EDI flows up and running quickly.
Built for modern enterprise needs
Axway is built to meet demanding SLAs and complex, real-time use cases. Our support architecture cuts downtime to near-zero, with containerization options available to further maintain reliable operations and business continuity.
API-first approach to EDI
Offering API capabilities is not the same thing as seamlessly integrating EDI + API flows. Axway’s support for APIs in B2B/EDI is extensive, providing a level of automation that helps you modernize business operations.
