Rules-Based Processing
Simplify your B2B integrations
Processing rules help simplify your B2B integrations. You can define and execute B2B processes based on criteria, such as document type and message payload, to maximize standardization, efficiently re-use assets and reduce the headaches of point-to-point integrations.
Re-usable rules
Reduce errors and inefficiencies by implementing consistent and re-usable document processing rules. Processing rules provide flexibility in your partner communications and ensure consistent and reliable data. Your application developers can define rules for document processing based on document and/or partner criteria to ensure the correct processing of data.
Flexible processing logic options include:
- Service invocation
- Polling
- Scheduling
- And more
Back-end integration
Quickly tie your B2B processes to your back-end systems and orchestrate your B2B processes via webMethods Integration Server, our Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Because Trading Networks is built directly on top of this ESB, you can easily integrate existing services, applications and other data sources using Web services or the suite of webMethods Adapters.
Mapping & translation
Built on an ESB, webMethods Trading Networks provides graphical mapping, orchestration and testing tools, as well as a library of pre-built transformation services.
Using these tools, you can:
- Quickly map and transform business data to and from any B2B document format
- Simplify and streamline integration with any application or service within your enterprise
- Integrate seamlessly with other products in the webMethods suite
Real-time & batch modes
You’ve got all kinds of different partnerships with customers, suppliers, distributors and other trading partners. So you need flexibility in how and when you exchange and process documents. That’s exactly what webMethods Trading Networks provides. You can work in real time, eliminating costly delays, as well as in batch mode as required.
