What is the SEEBURGER BIS Platform?

SEEBURGER BIS is an enterprise integration platform that supports EDI, API integration, and managed file transfer. It also handles application and data orchestration across complex enterprise environments.

Rather than forcing customers into a cloud-first model, SEEBURGER’s “one platform, multiple deployment” architecture allows them to evolve existing environments.

The best way to understand the platform’s modular architecture is to explore each of the elements within it.

What is the SEEBURGER BIS Server?

SEEBURGER BIS Server is the platform’s self-managed deployment model. It’s designed for organizations that:

• Require full control over their integration environment
• Operate in regulated industries
• Rely on highly customized integration requirements

BIS Server can be deployed on-premises, in private cloud environments, or within a preferred hyperscaler. BIS Server supports complex EDI/B2B processes, application integration, and data orchestration across enterprise systems.

It can also support modern development practices such as CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments.

What is the SEEBURGER BIS Hub?

SEEBURGER BIS Hub is the platform’s cloud-managed deployment option. It provides the same core integration capabilities as BIS Server, but removes the need for organizations to provision, maintain, and update underlying systems. 

In practice, BIS Hub is often used alongside BIS Server in hybrid environments. Organizations may retain BIS Server for complex, regulated, or deeply customized integrations, while using BIS Hub to support newer, cloud-native initiatives.

This flexible model allows teams to modernize incrementally without disrupting existing operations.
