AS2 Services

AS2 has become one of the most popular communications protocols for B2B message exchange. Whether you are an experienced user of AS2 or considering a migration to the AS2 standard, GXS can help. We offer three different AS2 services to meet the needs of both large and small companies.

Replace Outdated Communications with a Faster, More Dependable, Real-Time Protocol

GXS offers a portfolio of AS2 services to enable all types of companies to exchange documents via the AS2 protocol.

  • AS2 Outsourcing—Designed for companies whose customers have requested to perform B2B integration over AS2, GXS offers a low-cost, reliable option called AS2 Outsourcing. Using the service you can connect to GXS using whatever your preferred network connectivity model is (FTP, dial-up or EDI VAN). GXS will communicate with your AS2 trading partners on your behalf without requiring you to invest in the hardware, software and technical expertise required when you implement AS2 yourself. 
  • AS2 Connectivity—For companies seeking to gain the benefits of direct Internet connectivity over AS2, but who do not wish to operate their own VAN with hundreds or thousands of AS2 connections. Your trading partners can send and receive documents in FTPS, SFTP, dial-up, HTTP or other preferred protocols. GXS will perform protocol mediation on these transactions and send/receive them all to you via AS2.     
  • AS2 Contingency—Optional connection via VPN/FTP, Secure FTP, FTP Push, or FTP over Dial PPP in the event of an AS2 or Internet issue in your company.

Use GXS AS2 Services to Strengthen Trading Partner Relationships While Cutting the Cost of Transactions.

  • For Suppliers—Quickly satisfy AS2 requests from your customers using a service demonstrating that you can offer flexible connectivity options and are easy to do business with. GXS AS2 services save you money and time by avoiding the need to purchase, install and maintain specialised communications software.
  • For Large Hubs—We will send all of your documents to you over an AS2 connection─even those from small trading partners who are not AS2-ready. You can retire your legacy communications infrastructure and standardise on AS2. This not only saves IT costs, but it simplifies administration by avoiding the need to maintain hundreds or thousands of trading partner connections.
