Technology

Our approach to technology provides a compelling new value proposition. At GXS we provide an integration services platform that substantially addresses the shortcomings of earlier generations of technology—complexity, time-to-market, risk, ease of use and cost. We are at the forefront of innovation and leadership in a new era of B2B e-commerce. It combines the best practices and security of traditional e-commerce with the agility and responsiveness of the Internet. This era represents the transformation in the delivery of solutions to customers, led by the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revolution that will be more far-reaching and significant than anything experienced in the last 20 years in the technology industry.

Our platform, GXS Trading Grid, embeds powerful technology to ensure high-performance integration and multi-enterprise collaboration. It is built on a rock-solid, highly-resilient foundation that can provide near real-time failover between continents—the ultimate protection for mission-critical e-commerce.

• The GXS cloud computing platform enables our data centers to operate like the Internet where computing resources are accessed and shared as virtual resources in a secure and scalable manner.
• Software must be capable of running in many places at the same time, isolated from but able to communicate with other software. GXS Trading Grid® applications are implemented as services which can be run on many servers, some separated by oceans. This is the power of service-oriented architecture.
• GXS applications are delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to allow your company to access business functionality at a cost typically less than paying for licensed applications. And the need to handle the installation, set up and often daily upkeep and maintenance of applications is completely eliminated.
