Foundational eBusiness Services

Where the VAN fits

One Layer of the Foundational Platform

VAN transmission is one component of what Foundational eBusiness Services handles — the B2B integration platform Paragon’s EDI division has run for 30 years. Most clients arrive needing transmission; few of them stop there.

Because Paragon manages the network connection alongside the mapping layer, a document can arrive over AS2 and leave as a REST call, an ERP connector write, or a flat file — with X12, EDIFACT, SFTP, and HTTPS handled along the way, and no second vendor for you to coordinate with.
