The only hardware requirement is a personal computer and an Internet connection, and the only software requirement is that you have a browser (Pervasive BXManager is compatible with most standard browsers). Pervasive Business Xchange is an Internet-based service that allows you to exchange electronic business documents with all your trading partners. As an application service provider, we maintain the service for you and you save money on software and support staffs.

Pervasive Business Xchange uses a cloud architecture that allows you to communicate with all the systems and processes used by your trading partners. Recognizing that every company operates differently, Pervasive Business Xchange does not exclude business partners from participating based on their technology.

Pervasive Business Xchange supports practically any standard, including PIDX, ANSI X12, EDIFACT, RosettaNet, SAP IDOC, BAAN, ASCII, XML, BizTalk, ebXML, and xCBL, as well as other proprietary and emerging standards.

Pervasive Business Xchange is the ideal solution for small- and medium-sized companies that must meet a customer's requirement for electronic transactions. The barriers of high up-front cost and IT staffing are removed with Pervasive Business Xchange - and Pervasive Business Xchange can transmit your information directly into your customer's back-office system.

Pervasive Business Xchange uses a secure architecture and adheres to standard security practices that allow us to provide the highest level of security. Trading partners interact with the Pervasive Business Xchange platform, while your information resides behind a firewall that protects against hackers and unauthorized access.

Pervasive Business Xchange supports all EDI standards, and is an ideal EDI alternative for small- and medium-sized companies. It's likely that only 20-25% of your trading partners are using EDI due to the high costs of implementing it. With such low up-front costs, Pervasive Business Xchange virtually eliminates all the reasons for not going paperless.

With Pervasive Business Xchange, there are no software or hardware costs beyond the PC, Internet connection, Windows, and a browser. All translations take place within the Pervasive Business Xchange platform. You also won't need to add additional IT staff with Pervasive Business Xchange. Unlike traditional VAN-based EDI, Pervasive Business Xchange has minimal testing requirements and no internal set-up requirements.

Your vendors can use a forms-based version of Pervasive Business Xchange (also called webforms), which ensures that the information they send to you is in the proper format. We will test to ensure that data flows from the forms to your network. Once that testing is complete, all forms users are compliant and individual testing is not necessary.

Very little, because of how intuitive and simple Pervasive Business Xchange is. We do provide online training via our inside support staff and our demonstration site

Standard support is provided with all solutions during standard business hours. For greater coverage, our operations team offers a platinum level support 24 x 7.  Details can be found at www.pervasive.com/businessxchange/Support.aspx
