Product Highlights

This page provides descriptions of new features and functions available for the latest releases of Internet transfer.

 
 

Managed service based on Internet transport protocols

  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.
 
 

 Flexible transport protocol and client support

  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.
   
 

 Access point to G International EDI Services

  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.
   
 

 Support for traditional VAN-enabled customers

  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.
   
 

 Intelligent support for XML data formats

  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.
   
 

 Combination of security measures

  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.
   
 

 Simplified subscription-based pricing

  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.
