I’m excited to welcome Apex B2Bi Solutions as a new Axway partner and to share why I believe this partnership is a strong fit for both organizations and, most importantly, for the customers we serve.
When we look at partnerships at Axway, the objective is more than adding another company to our partner ecosystem. The most valuable partnerships bring together complementary capabilities that can solve real customer challenges. That is what I see with Apex.
Axway brings proven enterprise B2B integration and managed file transfer (MFT) technology. Apex brings hands-on expertise across B2B integration, MFT implementation, migration, trading-partner onboarding, and managed services. Together, we can help organizations simplify legacy environments, accelerate modernization, improve operational efficiency, and establish a more scalable foundation for secure B2B and file-based data exchange.
Why this partnership makes sense
Across the market, we continue to see enterprises managing complex integration environments built over many years. Legacy MFT platforms, traditional value-added network (VAN) services, custom integrations, point-to-point connections, and manual processes often coexist alongside newer cloud applications and APIs. At the same time, the expectations placed on these environments continue to increase.
Organizations need to onboard customers and suppliers faster. They need greater visibility into critical transactions and file transfers. They need stronger security and governance. And they increasingly need to connect traditional electronic data interchange (EDI) and file-based processes with cloud services, APIs, and broader modernization initiatives.
Technology is an important part of solving those challenges, but technology alone isn’t enough. Customers also need experienced people who understand how to assess existing environments, design the future-state architecture, migrate legacy integrations, onboard trading partners, configure workflows, test deployments, and support the environment once it is in production. That is where the combination of Axway and Apex becomes particularly compelling.
Bringing technology and implementation expertise together
Apex has experience across logistics, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services: industries where high-volume B2B transactions, secure file exchange, complex trading-partner ecosystems, and regulatory requirements can be business-critical. By combining our respective capabilities, we can give customers a more complete approach to B2B and MFT modernization:
- Faster time-to-value. Apex combines B2B integration, MFT, migration, and implementation expertise with Axway technology to help customers accelerate deployments, trading-partner onboarding, legacy migrations, and production go-live.
- End-to-end B2B and MFT modernization. Together, we can support customers from platform technology and architecture through EDI mapping, MFT migration, partner onboarding, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing managed services.
- Simplified trading-partner onboarding. Standardized and repeatable integration patterns across EDI, APIs, and secure file-transfer connections can help organizations streamline how they onboard customers, suppliers, carriers, banks, and other trading partners.
- Modernized and secure MFT environments. Axway and Apex can help organizations move away from fragmented or legacy file-transfer environments toward a more centralized architecture, strengthening security and governance while increasing visibility and automation.
- A scalable path forward. Perhaps most importantly, modernization doesn’t have to mean replacing everything at once. Customers can progressively evolve legacy B2B and file-transfer environments toward automated MFT, cloud connectivity, APIs, and modern integration patterns while maintaining continuity for critical business processes.
Modernization without unnecessary disruption
This last point is particularly important to me. For enterprises that depend on B2B integration and MFT every day, these aren’t simply IT systems. They support supply chains, financial transactions, healthcare data exchanges, customer interactions, and other mission-critical business processes. Modernizing these environments therefore has to balance innovation with operational continuity.
Apex’s migration and implementation expertise, combined with Axway’s enterprise B2B and MFT technology, lets customers take a structured approach to that transition, including migration, testing, validation, and phased deployment. For MFT specifically, Apex can help customers modernize and consolidate file-transfer processes across SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2, APIs, and other enterprise protocols while implementing the automation, routing, security controls, monitoring, and exception management required for business-critical operations.
What this partnership means for customers
A partnership should be measured by the value we can create together for customers. For Axway and Apex, that means helping organizations accelerate deployments and trading-partner onboarding, increase automation, improve visibility into B2B and MFT operations, reduce integration complexity, and lower migration risks. It also means helping IT teams spend less time maintaining fragmented integrations and manually addressing exceptions, and more time supporting strategic modernization initiatives.
As Areeb Ahmed, Sr. Manager, Partner Growth and Strategy at Apex B2Bi Solutions, explains:
“This partnership with Axway is a significant milestone for Apex B2Bi Solutions. It allows us to bring our clients a platform that is trusted across the world — one that has been battle-tested by leading enterprises for secure, high-performance file transfer and integration. By combining Axway’s proven MFT and B2Bi capabilities with our deep implementation expertise, we’re able to help organizations modernize their integration architecture with confidence, speed, and complete visibility into every workflow.”
Building partnerships around customer outcomes
One of the things I enjoy most about working with partners is finding organizations where the capabilities on both sides genuinely complement one another. That is what makes me excited about the opportunity with Apex.
As enterprises continue to modernize infrastructure, consolidate integration technologies, move workloads to the cloud, and automate business processes, secure B2B integration and file exchange remain foundational to many of their most important operations. I look forward to working with the Apex team as we take this partnership into the market and, most importantly, begin helping customers turn those modernization objectives into real business outcomes.
