CMS is a Java-based solution that supports the following trading partner requirements:
As a client, to exchange files with trading partners who operate their own FTP or HTTP servers
As a server, to exchange files with trading partners who programmatically access your CMS FTP server
As a server, to exchange files with trading partners who manually access your CMS website using a Web browser
As a peer, to exchange files with trading partners who have also implemented the CMS application
The technical architecture of CMS provides the following benefits:
Platform independence through the use of JAVA based development. CMS can run on almost any server: NT, Unix and more.
Data transfer between different enterprise solutions. Your own proprietary formats can be made into CMS components, allowing for personalized extensions of both industry and Dancik standards.
Eliminates the need for X.12 Translators and use of a VAN.
Includes the ability to send and receive XML, Excel Spreadsheets, and flat files between trading partners in addition to support for B2B compliant X.12 documents.
CMS is totally integrated with other Dancik products, but is also available as a stand-alone system. Because CMS can “stand alone”, it can be used by your trading partners that do not have these capabilities, or do not have software vendors that can communicate in the standard formats.
