can help you digitally transform
• Streamlines processes. "Now that our partner interactions are fully
automated, our processes have become more agile. This enables us
to grow and positions us for future expansion," said Holt-Jacobsen.
• Ensures stability and reliability. Essential for the operation of an
automated and effective replenishment process.
• Governs EDI data streams. "The ability to govern the flow of EDI data
is very important for us, and Axway B2Bi has helped us accomplish
this mission-critical function," Holt-Jacobsen concluded.
Future steps
Exploring new options
To take full advantage of Axway B2Bi, Varner is examining additional
capabilities and functionality offered by the solution. "At the moment, we
use B2Bi only for EDI messages, but we also have other integration points
and processes with internal stakeholders and external partners," said
Holt-Jacobsen. "We are looking at moving more of our external partner
integration to the B2Bi solution."
In particular, Varner is considering putting Axway B2Bi to work in the
following areas:
• XML messaging. "Today, we send our in-house and external XML messages
though other solutions, and we are looking at moving that communication
to Axway B2Bi," said Holt-Jacobsen. "Our XML messages include sales and
inventory statistics we send to external suppliers. Also, inbound transport
from our Asian suppliers is handled through XML messages."
• Secure FTP. "Currently, we use Secure FTP for integration with the third-
party warehouse that handles our e-commerce picking," said Holt-Jacobsen.
This process is also being considered for a move to Axway B2Bi.
The idea of centralizing all Varner data communications on a single Axway
platform is an appealing option, as it would improve efficiency, simplify
system management and enhance Varner's ability to govern the flow of data.
Whatever future steps Varner takes, the Axway B2Bi deployment is already
a clear success. "We are quite pleased with the Axway B2Bi solution," said
Holt-Jacobsen. "Our expectations have absolutely been met."
