CData Arc simplifies B2B integration with no coding, installation, or infrastructure requirements and is available on premises and in the cloud.
CData Software, a premier provider of data connectivity and integration solutions, today introduced the CData Arc platform, enabling organizations to automate their B2B integration workflows in minutes and share data with partners both in the cloud with CData Arc Cloud and on premises with CData Arc, previously named CData ArcESB.
B2B integration, the automated communication between two businesses or trading partners, is necessary for businesses to work with partners, including suppliers, manufacturers and insurance carriers. But manual methods translating and processing documents, files, and data across a series of complex standards and protocols are time-consuming and error-prone. By 2024, 75% of midsize to large enterprises will leverage at least two types of integration tools to address their B2B communication needs (source: Gartner).
