This

available for the latest releases of Internet transfer.

Internet
transfer is a managed service for exchanging data and documents
with trading partners. First, you register and establish a
relationship with G International. Then, relationships are
established between G International and your trading partners.
Establishing a relationship includes registration, authentication,
trading partner profile setup, and exchange of certificates.
You only manage your connection to G International and a single
transport protocol, and G International manages delivering
the documents to your trading partners through any of the
supported protocols or connections. |

Because
the managed Internet transfer service is based on open standards,
including support for EDIINT AS1 and AS2, there are many client
options for your trading partners. You can use the SMTP, HTTP,
HTTPS, or FTP/S protocol, without concern for which protocol
your trading partner uses. To review a list of client options,
go to the Requirements
page. |

Beyond
its capabilities as an Internet transport service, Internet
transfer also gives you added value as an Internet access
point to the portfolio of the Business Exchange Services and
EDI Services offerings. The service includes connectivity
to the Information Exchange commerce engine, as well as interconnectivity
to other VANs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internet
transfer offers a bridge between the traditional VAN-enabled
trading partners and trading partners who are Internet-enabled.
The service enables business between the two environments
along with a migration path for traditional VAN-enabled trading
partners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internet
transfer is not restricted to support of traditional EDI formats,
ANSI, X12, and EDIFACT; the service also intelligently supports
XML, including ebXML, RosettaNet, cXML, xCBL, BizTalk, and
ICE. Internet transfer can interpret these XML formats, parse
them, and route them appropriately. It is positioned to quickly
add support for new XML formats and standards as they evolve. |

|
|
|
|
|
The
Internet transfer commerce engine provides you with a combination
of security measures for your data and document exchange.
This includes support for X.509 security certificates. The
EDIINT AS1 (SMTP) and AS2 (HTTP or HTTPS) interoperability
specifications include support for encryption, digital signatures,
and non-repudiation. If you use the HTTPS protocol, you will
use HTTP with a security-enhanced socket layer (SSL) connection,
which adds sender authentication. FTP/S also incorporates
security by providing FTP transport over an SSL connection. |

|
|
|
|
|
Based
on Internet transport protocols, Internet transfer offers
simple subscription-based pricing. There are no peak, off-peak,
interconnect, mailbox, or connectivity charges. Internet transfer
has subscription plans available to match your company's usage
needs, whether large or small. |
