Enterprises can be reluctant to move some functions into the cloud because of security and other concerns. So services that can allay these fears have big potential in the market.
Data flow specialist Axway already hosts secure private cloud portfolio solutions with AWS and has now announced that it’s making a Cloud B2B service available.
The Axway Cloud B2B Service enables companies to securely manage and integrate with their B2B communities in the cloud without the additional investment in hardware or labor resources common with legacy solutions.
Antoine Rizk, VP, Global Go-To-Market Programs at Axway says, "The solution has low initial cost and is scalable to allow for seasonal peaks. This also means a cloud solution becomes affordable for smaller companies."
Rizk belives there is large potential for the product as B2B cloud services currently only account for around six percent of the enterprise software market and will grow to 18-20 percent over the next five years.
Axway offers subscription-based product configurations that enable organizations to seamlessly connect their on-premises systems to their partner communities. The Cloud B2B Service includes extensive reporting, alerting and monitoring capabilities that enable companies to onboard, manage and interact with their communities through a cloud-based infrastructure, enterprise application integration, and advanced community management.
As Axway hosts its secure private Cloud portfolio solutions with AWS, it has access to infrastructure regions located around the world, including Western Europe, which helps protect the data integrity of its customers at all times.
"We designed AWS to enable our customers and partners to manage their computing needs through a highly flexible model, paying only for resources used and allowing organizations to avoid costly and time consuming traditional infrastructure," says Brian Matsubara, Head of Global Technology Alliances at Amazon Web Services, Inc. "By moving to the cloud Axway is able to take advantage of the scalable, reliable, secure and flexible technologies offered by AWS to power their Axway Cloud B2B Service technology, allowing them to focus on serving customers around the world."
Axway Cloud B2B Service is available now on the AWS Marketplace as a SaaS offering, or for more information visit the Axway website.
