TradeXpress

«EDI, B2B, EAI, ETL integration platform and Process Management »

The demands made on the information system by the business world are numerous: ensuring the system is open to outside partners in line with a wide-reaching and collaborative entrepreneurial approach, ensuring new electronic trade applications are put in place, enabling organizations to be flexible and quick to react, facilitating inter-application collaboration and federation, allowing the integration of new businesses or companies, offering users management and control solutions for their business processes, compliance with key technological standards such as those enabling the building of SOAs (service oriented architectures), etc.

To meet those corporate integration challenges as a whole, Generix Group marketed (the first editor to have done so) an all-in-one software integration platform: TradeXpress Enterprise 5.0.

The solution

TradeXpress Enterprise 5.0 targets companies and local government offices regardless of size with plans for various types of B2B, ETL and EAI integration projects within an overall or departmental context while at the same time laying emphasis on a pragmatic approach to ensure a fast return on investment.

TradeXpress Enterprise 5.0 assures integration through Dataflow & Processflow and partly through Workflow by allowing human interaction to play its part in the process.

TradeXpress Enterprise is underpinned by a wide range of components:

  • TradeXpress Modeler, a process modeling and execution shop.
  • TradeXpress Monitoring, a unified exchange control and supervision system, associated with TradeXpress BAM, a Business Activity Monitoring solution.
  • TradeXpress Administration, a system and processes administration platform.
  • TradeXpress Backbone urbanisation solutions (MOM, WS file transfers).
  • TradeXpress Designer, a shop for interface development (DMS, EDI and XML files) and repository management.
  • A library with a hundred or so connectors in various fields: EDI and XML languages, communication protocols, ERP or DMS integration, technical, security or compliance with hundreds of legal restrictions.

The platform is underpinned by a large number of standards including: BPML, XML, Web Service, Java, Jdbc, JMS, Soap, and integrates SOAs (service oriented architectures).
