The Most Highly Available EDI Solution - Guaranteed

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the method of choice for mission-critical communications with supply-chain partners. High availability is typically the primary concern, and is a potential issue with any EDI service built on a single value-added network (VAN). The unique ANX architecture eliminates this vulnerability, delivering the highest availability over multiple tier-1 VANs with industry-leading security and support.

How ANX Delivers Superior EDI

ANX provides superior EDI value in three key ways:

1. Availability. Rather than operate over a single VAN, ANX uniquely places EDI traffic on multiple ANX-certified VANs. ANX continuously monitors its VAN providers and can re-route traffic to another provider should an outage occur. This enables us to offer the industry’s best standard service level agreements, and empowers customers to switch VAN providers if desired during the ANX relationship.

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 thoroughly secure delivery of every B2B transactions to every trading partner.

3. Service. With over three decades’ experience in providing business transaction solutions, ANX has earned a tremendous service reputation. Our support is both expert and domestic; rather than off-shoring the service function, we staff it in the same geography as our customers with experts who have an average of 12 years’ EDI experience for fast and immediate issue resolution.

Potential issues with single-VAN solutions• If the VAN is down, EDI ceases operation• Contracts limit options if problems arise• Service level agreements are offered at premium prices, if at all• Changing VANs is comparable in difficulty to changing telco providers• Increasing industry use of outsourced, off-shore support services
