Connect

The JCommerce Document Broker connects, integrates and manages - quickly and simply. With this philosophy in mind, the JCommerce Document Broker solves the toughest problems hindering collaborative commerce; technical problems that no one else has solved as effectively.

Building a trading community

Building a successful Internet-based trading community depends in part on establishing a common connection approach with all trading partners. To help you accomplish this, the JCommerce Document Broker (hub) includes a rapidly deployable endpoint solution called JCommerce Bizconnect (spoke), that can be downloaded over the Internet, installed in minutes and put into use in less than an hour. Even partners that currently communicate with you via fax, phone, mail can quickly connect, using the JCommerce Bizconnect client. While the JCommerce Document Broker is a server-based solution (hub), Bizconnect is a downloadable, pure Java client for small and medium companies, with simple, secure document transfer requirements.

Any-to-any secure connectivity

The JCommerce Document Broker transcends IT infrastructures and differences in legacy systems to empower platform-independent communication within your trading community. It enables you to transport any data, via any protocol and connect to any legacy system (ERP, MRP, SCM, etc).

The explosion of business vocabularies can confuse and frustrate business exchanges - the list of EDI and XML dialects goes on and on. This massive growth in business dialects forces trading communities to support a variety of data formats and communications methods. JCommerce Document Broker meets this challenge with facilities for processing both structured and unstructured messages. It fully supports leading Internet standards and multiple XML initiatives, including ebXML, cXML, xCBL, as well as all traditional EDI standards like Edifact, Tradacoms, Ansi X12, Odette, VDA,…

Native EDI andXML support

The JCommerce Document Broker marries EDI and XML. The right way. With JCommerce any-to-any document transformation services, EDI and XML translation are core components.Unlike many of the add-on "adapter" to an Internet B2B gateway or EAI broker solution, JCommerce is built to handle EDI transactions as part of its core architecture. The difference is fundamental - both in performance and commitment. This includes support for all ANSI X12 and EDIFACT transaction sets in all versions released to date. It also includes comprehensive support for Tradacoms messages. Since some large early EDI adopters still use Value Added Networks for transferring EDI documents, JCommerce also seamlessly connects with most leading VAN's (e.g. IBM Information Exchange, GEIS,…).

Interoperability with partners' solutions

Although the JCommerce Document Broker with Bizconnect is a tiered solution that provides for 100% trading partner participation, Aditel understands that not all of your partners will move forward with your chosen solution. One of the key benefits of the JCommerce Document Broker is that it is open and so interoperable with other B2B applications. This means that a JCommerce solution is not a requirement for each and every business partner doing business with you electronically. As long as they are using a standard based protocol and data type, they should be able to connect with little effort. JCommerce interoperability allows you to securely connect with all your business partners for the secure exchange of business information.
