Starting in 2001, on the basis of SAP NetWeaver XI, the first converters and adapters for electronic data interchange for formats such as EDIFACT and VDA and the connection of protocols such as X.400 and OFTP were built. 2007 saw the first customer for the EDI Managed Service offering in the context of the growing demand for an EDI solution in a full-service environment based on SAP NetWeaver PI in the datacenter of NTT DATA Business Solutions (“Shared PI”).
At this time, mapping libraries were already being set up as part of a canonical mapping concept. As the number of customers grew, the EDI software established itself under the name it.x-change until the solution was finally sold to SAP as an SAP B2B add-on in 2011.
Based on the existing and growing expertise in the EDI environment, a new, completely independent EDI solution was developed starting in 2012: The birth of it.x-EDIconnect.
With the growing requirements and demand from customers for an EDI solution that connects to Customs, integrates CEP service providers, scale adapters, etc., the offering under it.x-EDIconnect was constantly evolving.
2015 sees the replacement of the “Shared PI” with the birth of it.x-EDIcloud, a full-service integration solution in the company’s proprietary certified data center located in Germany. Global advances in, for instance, IoT and standardization movements for e-invoicing, lead to constant further development and expansion of the EDI software offering.
The result nowadays: A state-of-the-art, cloud-based platform in the full-service that makes EDI possible for any format, any platform, and any business – JOUBINI Integration Platform.
