The traditional enterprise boundary is disappearing. What was once a clearly

delineated, moat-like barrier protected by firewalls and security policies
is being stretched, blurred and challenged from the inside out and the
outside in.
Why? Because it is up against an unstoppable, transformational wave a torrent of business initiatives that require
some degree of integration with other departments or external partners; cloud and/or mobile access to data and
transactions; and the ability for business units, individuals and partners to exchange new types of information anytime,
anywhere. Over the next few years, more than two thirds of all integration will occur across or outside the firewall. Its a
powerful force, and far too important to ignore. If you want to provide mobile access to millions of healthcare customers,
optimize inventory across hundreds of global partners, or process billions of financial transactions across international
borders, you need to be able to integrate a combination of internal and external entities, the cloud, mobile devices, the
Internet of Things, and big data.

The New Integration Challenge

Integration is no longer contained within

the four walls of the enterprise. Over
the next few years, more than two thirds
of all integration will take place across
and outside the traditional enterprise
boundary, the firewall. To enable highvalue business interactions, data needs
to flow along many paths comprised
of many points inside and outside the
firewall, including internal applications,
partner communities, people, and cloud
and mobile applications.
Axway 5 Suite gives you the power to
govern any flow of data structured
or unstructured, real-time or historical,
simple or complex across the edge
of the enterprise, whether it moves
between people or systems, on-premise,
in the cloud or via mobile devices.
By helping you move away from point-topoint integrations and toward governing
end-to-end flows of data, Axway 5 Suite
can help you accelerate new business
initiatives and improve reliability, security
and compliance all at a lower overall
cost of ownership.

But none of this comes easy. When integration goes outside the enterprise and data
is distributed on-premise, across systems and via cloud services, your work becomes
even more complex. Data becomes hard to secure, monitor and track, increasing the
risk of security breaches, data loss and compliance issues. Service level agreements
(SLAs) are harder to measure and maintain because information gets routed through
more systems and people, and delivered to new kinds of endpoints beyond the firewall.
And thats a big problem, because with business SLAs or regulatory compliance, losses
and penalties can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
To turn the tide in favor of your business, you need to be able to quickly capitalize
on new technologies and opportunities without violating enterprise security policies
designed to keep private data in and bad things out. You need to be able to support
new standards and styles of integration to take advantage of cloud and mobile
channels. And you need to ensure end-to-end visibility and control of all flows of data
across old and new technologies.
Axway 5 Suite can help you do all of these things and more. It has already given
thousands of companies a new way to defend todays amorphous enterprise boundary,
while gaining the power to integrate and govern the data that needs to cross
that boundary.
With Axway 5 Suite, they are:
Inviting employees, partners and customers into business-critical processes
Freeing information previously trapped in legacy systems
Enabling secure and auditable human interactions
Harnessing the power of the cloud, the mobile revolution and big data

Govern data flows in the context of

business interactions
However you blend the components of
Axway 5 Suite, and whether you deploy
them on premise or in the cloud as
services, you have the ability to achieve
greater control, security and visibility of
all data flows required to support your
business-critical interactions, from start
to finish.
A unique combination of capabilities
provides true data flow governance for
system- and human-initiated interactions
within the enterprise, across partner
communities, and out to the cloud and
mobile devices, so you can finally tap
into the full value of your
business interactions.
Instead of managing each file transfer,
EDI transaction, or partner provisioning
process in isolation, you can govern
them all together as a single
end-to-end flow of data. And, along
the way, you can gain the knowledge
you need to make changes that
improve business relationships and
enterprise performance.

Available on-premise or in the cloud

Axway 5 Suite components can be
installed on premise or consumed as
cloud services managed by your IT
organization or by Axway. This flexibility
makes it easy to quickly connect
your on-premise systems to your
partner networks and mobile and web
applications without having to buy new
hardware or disrupt your internal IT
infrastructure and staff.

GOVERN THE FLOW OF DATA

ACROSS DOMAINS AND ECOSYSTEMS

The majority of integration done today spans departments, customers, partners, mobile
and cloud technologies, and new types of big data. This poses a new integration
challenge because each new project comes with yet another integration technology.
And the more technologies you add, the harder it is to monitor and manage the end-toend flow of data that supports your business processes. To speed up delivery of new
services, gain visibility, improve reliability and cut costs, new integration technologies
must be able to work with the old ones across domains and ecosystems.
Axway 5 Suite is the convergence of Axways market-leading integration, managed file
transfer, B2B and API management products and cloud services. It helps companies
break down barriers between departments, application silos and user ecosystems, and
gives them the ability to cost effectively govern the flow of data:
within internal infrastructures
across partner communities
from person to system and person to person
to and from cloud applications, mobile devices and the Internet of Things
Across new and existing applications, systems and technologies, Axway 5 enables:
Integration Exchange data between business entities, wherever they are located,
in an intelligent, reliable and secure manner.
API management Standardize and centralize control over all services that interact
with mission-critical systems and communities inside and outside
your organization.
Community management Reduce risk and improve customer and partner
satisfaction by automating and streamlining how you on-board, manage and interact
with members of your trading community.
Visibility Provide data flow analytics that enable technical and business users to
proactively identify and solve problems before they disrupt business processes, using
real-time dashboards, reports and alerts.
Policy Define and enforce policies that govern access, routing and remediation
to guarantee that interactions happen as expected, even when people, devices, and
infrastructure are outside your data centers control.
Identity management Bridge identity management solutions across firewalls and
standards for cost-effective access control across end-to-end flows of data.
Security and compliance Protect against security breaches and data loss,
capture complete audit trails, and ensure compliance with industry and government
regulations as well as your organizations internal security and privacy policies, with a
broad spectrum of policy-based security capabilities and control.

GOVERN THE FLOW OF DATA

WITHIN YOUR ENTERPRISE

Even if data isnt traveling beyond the firewall, corporate and government mandates
require that it be managed and secured as it flows among departments, applications
and sites within an organization. Yet many enterprises rely on outdated proprietary
software to facilitate the movement of data across internal domains, or live in fear of
a ticking time bomb made up of rogue integration, B2B and FTP sites and vulnerable
homegrown and point-to-point connections.
With Axway 5 Suite, you can consolidate your internal cross-departmental integration
with a single solution that provides:
Secure, fast and reliable transfer and tracking of data and files internally across
mainframes, AS/400, ERP and other systems in any mode scheduled, eventdriven, store-and-forward, push or pull regardless of changing file sizes and
volumes or spikes in loads, without accidental data leakage or loss, and without
application rewrites.
Real-time integration across applications both on premise and in the cloud, with
support for messaging, web services and a host of B2B protocols, as well rich
support for new de facto cloud integration standards including REST
and JSON.
Security and identity management with integrated security administration and identity
mediation that bridge across identity management solutions and security standards,
including SAML and OAuth, on premise and in the cloud.

IN THE Internet
CLOUDof Things
Business users are increasingly turning to cloud-based services with or without IT
support or permission to improve collaboration, support new business initiatives and
lower costs. But integrating these new services with whats running on-premise is hard
for a number of reasons. For example, cloud services rely on a host of new technology
standards, including REST and JSON for integration and OAuth for security. Theyre also
outside the firewall. And the additional loads from new offerings like customer selfservice or online ordering can overwhelm existing systems. Without sufficient controls in
place, enterprise security, privacy, compliance and reliability are at risk.

to on-premise applications, Axway also offers comprehensive Managed Services or
hosted environments.
By leveraging the API management capabilities of Axway 5 Suite to build, manage and
secure integration between on-premise and cloud-based applications and services,
you can:

Human

Expose existing assets as APIs using a graphical development environment with native
support for REST, web services and messaging.
Integrate cloud and on-premise services with advanced transformation, mediation and
policy-based rules.
Secure APIs with encryption, data masking and SAML-and OAuth-based single sign-on
to any combination of cloud-based szervices, traditional B2B services and
on-premise applications.
Deliver Identity-as-a-Service to extend identity management beyond the firewall.
Axway provides out-of-the box connectors that enable integration with existing
enterprise security infrastructures and controls, including authentication,
authorization, audit, trust relationship management and identity federation.
Monitor, manage and govern any traffic using built-in administration and monitoring,
rich data-flow analytics, and independent audit trails that provide end-to-end visibility
and control for governing the flow of data.

Todays business ecosystems are more

dynamic and connected than ever a
reality that is putting enormous pressure
on IT organizations to pick up the pace
of integration.

But yesterdays SOA and ESB

implementations are proving too
heavyweight for the new world of cloud,
social and mobile applications, and
simply exposing legacy system APIs is
not enough.

modern REST APIs and an innovative
API Catalog.

With no coding required, you can

create API facades in front of existing
infrastructure to gain a top-down,
centralized view of, and control over,
all services that interact with missioncritical systems and communities inside

secures your REST APIs using the latest
standards (such as OAuth 2.0), and
leverages your existing security and

This unique approach enables a level of

cohesion across functional components
that no other provider can match.

GOVERN THE FLOW OF DATA

FOR MOBILE DEVICES AND

THE INTERNET OF THINGS
The mobile world is officially here, with approximately 1 billion smartphones, 7 billion
mobile devices and nearly 1 trillion interconnected devices worldwide. Add in connectivity to
machines and to remote devices like vehicles, home appliances and smart meters (the
Internet of Things), and you must not only move a magnitude of data, but also support
a proliferation of endpoints that produce and consume the data a data tsunami that
threatens to overwhelm IT systems. Companies need to make these channels a real part
of how business gets done, because employees, consumers, customers and partners
expect to be able to use their mobile and other interconnected devices to access data and
execute business transactions.
The mobile and connected world is built on a new set of standards and integration
approaches that are not supported by the application-integration and service-oriented
architectures many companies have in place today. Axway 5 Suite provides the capabilities
you need to quickly transform existing applications and web services into secure APIs for
mobile and machine-to-machine communications, so you can:
Enable BYOD initiatives by extending your existing identity management platform to
secure mobile access and ensure that all data is delivered to mobile apps through
secure APIs (rather than storing data on unsecured, untrusted and easily lost or
stolen mobile devices).
Expose existing assets via secure, mobile- and connected-device-friendly APIs.
Axway provides a graphical development environment with native support for REST,
web services and OAuth, so you can easily grant access to existing back-end systems
without making intrusive changes.

Dont risk missed opportunities to

reach new markets and generate

If you cant support the right kinds of

interactions like BYOD mobile access

applications you simply cant play in
those markets. The inability to reach
new customers and create new revenue
streams is a clear and present danger to
your business.

Secure data and minimize risk by ensuring that your mobile APIs do not become
an avenue for Denial-of-Service or data-mining attacks. Axways out-of-the-box API
security capabilities enable you to control access to, and secure data transmitted
by, API and SOA services. Complete auditing, monitoring, logging and reporting
capabilities also help you meet stringent compliance mandates.
Support high data volumes generated and consumed by Internet-connected devices,
while overcoming intermittent connections through asynchronous communications.

GOVERN THE FLOW OF DATA

FROM PERSON-TO-PERSON AND

PERSON-TO-SYSTEM
In todays fluid, fast-paced, and highly collaborative business environment, it isnt
possible (or necessarily beneficial) to pre-plan every data exchange. Partners, vendors,
and customers need information when they need it, and your business users will employ whatever tools they have at their fingertips to move documents and files where they
need to go including email systems that are isolated from system traffic, unsecured
and unmanaged FTP sites, and consumer-focused file-sharing services in the cloud.
Of course, standard email and simple ad-hoc file-sharing sites are not designed for
enterprise-class data exchange. They may be fast and easy compared to logging into
a separate application or web site to send and receive data securely, but they lack the
controls, encryption and audit trails required to prevent data breaches and compliance
violations that can compromise business relationships, intellectual property and
corporate brands. And they lack the visibility, integration and reliability required to meet
tight SLAs and prevent business interruptions by ensuring that data arrives intact, on
time and uncorrupted.
Axway 5 Suite brings enterprise-class security and visibility to ad hoc person-to-person
and person-to-system data exchange, enabling you to:

When personal health or financial data,
confidential business information, or

can take a very costly hit.

Deliver a managed shared service that enables business users to securely send
and receive files of any size and any type at any time using familiar and easy-to-use
interfaces including Lotus Notes, Outlook, web-based email, or a web portal.
Consolidate file-transfer requirements from multiple business units, divisions or
projects on one infrastructure while meeting their various usage needs and
security requirements.
Define and centrally enforce policies that secure data, control file access and
movement, create audit trails, and ensure regulatory compliance, with no need for
users to change the way they work or learn a new application or tool.
Gain visibility into human-oriented and system-oriented data flows in one place,
breaking down the barriers that have separated these domains in the past.
Use single sign-on and LDAP to simplify adoption and on-boarding while maintaining
the ability to govern the flow of data beyond your corporate network.
Establish a valuable two-way communications channel that creates stronger
relationships with customers and partners, differentiates your services from the
competition, and reduces the cost of sending and receiving sensitive information.
