IBM Sterling Gentran:Server

IBM Gentran:Server is available for Windows, UNIX, iSeries (AS/400), and zSeries (mainframe). The two most common Gentran:Server applications are for the Windows and UNIX operating systems.

• Gentran:Server for Windows is an e-commerce EDI solution designed for the Windows client/server environment.
• Gentran:Server for UNIX is an EDI solution that leverages the 32-bit, open systems environment of UNIX for B2B communication.

Both versions of Gentran:Server offer similar features and serve the same purposes, but each one has functionality adapted to its associated operating system environment.

Why Your Company Should Use Sterling Gentran

Manufacturers, healthcare providers, enterprises, Amazon suppliers, and other industries that require large amounts of B2B transactions rely on EDI to exchange documents and messages quickly and securely. All of that data going back and forth becomes a tremendous hassle to translate, store, and sync with existing business solutions.

Companies implement IBM Sterling Gentran:Server to translate all of their EDI data, control their EDI processes, and maintain strong B2B communication systems. Without the ability to communicate and solve problems quickly, your business partner relationships could suffer, and your company could fall behind in the market.

Backed by the world-class support of IBM and industry-leading performance, IBM Sterling Gentran is the trusted EDI solution for enterprises and e-commerce businesses around the world.
