Is Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition Right for Your Implementation?

The Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition contains all the components necessary to configure a basic AS2 implementation. The Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition may not be suitable for all environments. We recommend that you carefully evaluate whether your needs will be met by the Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition or if you require an advanced implementation that will necessitate you writing custom business processes to use the EDIINT services. You will require a custom implementation for any of the following reasons:

• You need to trade messages with many trading partners.
• You want to integrate directly with the translator or any other application subsystem, instead of simply doing input and output to mailboxes or to the file system.
• You want to write either more simple or different processes for performance reasons (for example, you do not want to use the JDBC service or the AS2_TRADEPART_INFO table (the Sterling B2B Integrator-specific database table for mapping directories or mailboxes to contracts) because foregoing these components will improve performance).
• You need to exchange AS1 messages.
