Electronic Data Interchange

Alliance FTP Manager is an ideal way to implement the exchange of ANSI X12 EDI documents with your trading partners. You can implement direct connections with your partners to send and receive files, or you can connect with a Value Added Network like IBM Global Network (Advantis), AllTel, or AT&T Networks. Your data transfers can be more frequent and faster than using older modem-dial technology. And direct connections to your trading partners can save you money.

EDI Value Added Networks

Alliance FTP Manager can also be used to connect with your EDI network supplier. Connections to IBM Global Network (Advantis), IBM Information Exchange (IE), AllTel, and AT&T are supported. New networks are being added frequently.  By providing automated transfer and permanent audit trails you can provide the maximum reliability and application service to your users for EDI data exchange.

Internet Connectivity

Alliance FTP Manager can connect to your Trading Partners Internet FTP sites for data exchange, too. If your AS/400 has a connection to the Internet Alliance FTP Manager can automatically send and receive files with the Internet FTP site. And Alliance FTP Manager includes a license to Alliance FTP Security to help prevent unauthorized access to your AS/400.
