2.1. Babelway Concept

Babelway is a B2B integration Software-as-a-Service. Babelway provides data translation software and B2B communication gateways organised in a full-service proposition. Babelway services are fully available on-demand via a web-browser. There is no software or hardware to buy and maintain in-house, but yet Babelway is still under the full control of its users.

The main functions of Babelway are

  • Babelway transports electronic messages between two parties.

  • Babelway transforms messages from an input to an output format (csv, xml, Excel, flat file, EDI,...).

  • Babelway stores messages in a secure way for a defined period of time. The archiving system is compliant with EU legal requirements.

From a technical angle, Babelway is divided in two parts:

  1. The Self-Service console is the web-based configuration and administration interface.

  2. The Messaging Engine is the message processing system.
