Belgium Open Office Event

The Belgium Open Office Event at the “Living Tomorrow” complex was filled with an interesting program, such as the official opening of the office, SEEBURGER Benelux emergence and development, strategy and overview of the SEEBURGER Business Integration platform. The customer Ardo did an interesting business case presentation, and finally a very inspiring tour into innovation led by the Living Tomorrow guide.

SEEBURGER solutions are supporting your Digital Transformation

Going digital is not easy, especially when you are a large, leading organization in your domain with an IT environment heavily depending on legacy systems. There are often application and infrastructure challenges, like your systems and applications are band-aided together. This typically creates business silos, compliance and regulatory concerns abound, outdated functionality limits innovation and growth, data security & compliance, etc. And file transfer is still a challenge! SEEBURGER presented how to support this digital transformation also considering legacy systems.

SEEBURGER showed how it enables organizations to integrate traditional B2B/EDI flows, Managed File Transfer and API Management functionality based on one single platform, the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) – operational on-premises or as Cloud Services.

Analyst firms like Gartner also confirm that companies should seek if possible for a unified approach for integration. In a report from Gartner* (https://blog.seeburger.com/de/seeburger-cited-gartner-report-master-b2b-ecosystem-integration-blended-edi-api-approach/) , where SEEBURGER was cited, APIs and API Management complement, rather than replace, traditional B2B technologies such as EDI and MFT. Application leaders should leverage their legacy B2B skills while taking advantage of new API capabilities to optimize their business ecosystem for digital business. *Source: Gartner | Title: Master B2B Ecosystem Integration With a Blended EDI and API Approach | Published: 14 September 2017 ID: G00335550 | https://www.gartner.com/doc/3801563
