A major U.S. university was challenged by their legacy EDI translator which was greatly narrowing throughput and creating the need for custom scripts. For example, the team was forced to put in a semaphore solution to prevent false error reporting with their banking partner.

The university’s IT team turned to longtime partner Remedi to help them migrate from Sterling Gentran to Sterling B2B Integrator. The migration began with moving and testing one trading partner at a time to build confidence with the workflow and the new toolset, a process aided by the pre-built workflows in Remedi’s Framework.

The efficiency of B2B Integrator’s communication scripts have increased throughput and eliminated the need to write and support custom scripts. The migration from Gentran to Sterling B2B Integrator proceeded with no disruption to daily business or their financial transactions. The move also addressed some technical debt, improved visibility for business users, and simplified reporting for the EDI team.
