Gentran is one of the industry’s most widely used and trusted EDI and data translation solutions, proving itself daily in millions of business transactions. Translation would be relatively simple if there was only one standard and you had only one partner; however, things are much more complex. There are many EDI standards and you have multiple trading partners — meaning you must have the ability to communicate in the appropriate standard for each partner. Gentran product solutions can help you manage your B2B.
Sterling Commerce offers three different products of Gentran to best accommodate your e-business needs.
- Gentran:Basic – A data translation and management system that allows you to easily communicate with your trading partners. Designed to be the user interface between your application systems and your EDI trading partners, the system takes the application files you have defined and translates them to standard formats, validates them, and prepares them for transmission.
- Gentran:Director – A simple electronic data interchange solution made up of data translation, process control, and communication. It was designed primarily for the translation and communication of EDI, and other similar types of data. Gentran:Director is the most capable PC product on the market, and the easiest way yet to become an astute EDI player.
- Gentran:Server – A versatile, high performance e-business solution, designed to assist with the exchange of EDI and other types of data. Gentran generally consists of several logical components: a data store, process, communication controllers, and user interface clients. Gentran is a point product intended to address one need — the translation of inbound and outbound B2B files and messages.
