Connected systems / Connected information

The integration hub
for your business

xT connects your internal systems, suppliers and customers in one platform. It retrieves, combines and delivers information, and controls every step of the process.

Product

One platform for your integrations

xT connects your systems, processes, customers and partners in one integration platform, bringing legacy and modern systems together without replacing what already works.

Flexible and modular

Build the integration you need from modular components, and extend it as your business changes.

Build more with your own team

Standard building blocks and visual tools help your team build and maintain integrations with less dependency on custom development.

Connect legacy and modern systems

Bring established systems, modern APIs and services together in the same integration flow.

Secure, visible and under control

Protect communication and messages while monitoring every exchange, so integrations remain visible and under control.

Benefits

Why choose xT

01

Build complex workflows across systems

Combine information from several systems and control each step of the process.

02

Map files with ease. Reuse mappings

Mapping files is simple, and you can reuse mappings across integrations.

03

Connect APIs, files and B2B

Combine modern APIs with established integration patterns without replacing every existing system. xT also handles binary files.

04

Manage process steps. Keep operations visible

xT Workflow coordinates steps, while xView, tracking, monitoring and alerts support daily operations.

05

Distributed xT for volume, scalability and availability

Run xT as a group of servers that share messages and configuration. Add servers to increase capacity, and keep integrations running if a server fails.

06

Your server. Your choice of location

Host xT on-premises or in your chosen country or cloud region to support data residency and GDPR requirements.*

* Meeting data residency and GDPR requirements also depends on how the solution is configured and operated.

Technical overview

Protocols and connections
for different integration needs

xT supports the protocols and connection types below, grouped by purpose. Actual support depends on the installed version, modules and configuration.

Network, file and message transport

HTTPHTTPSFTPFTPSSFTPSMTP

B2B and xT communication

AS2OFTPxTRM

APIs, applications and database integration

RESTWeb ServicegRPCJMS.NETJavaFilesDatabase

Protect the transport

Encrypted SSL/SSH communication is available with xTRM, HTTPS, FTPS, SFTP and OFTP.

Protect the message

S/MIME and CMS support signing, encryption, verification and decryption. These are security standards, not additional transports.

Synchronous or asynchronous

xT supports both approaches. Choose according to the business process and connected interfaces. Different patterns can run in parallel on the same platform.

Process control

Turn integrations into controlled workflows
Coordinate every step with xT Workflow

Connect activities into a controlled process: evaluate conditions, run branches in parallel, bring results together and exchange messages.

Screenshot of the xT Workflow editor: receive message, check conditions, get shipment data, stock status and customer rules in parallel, join, combine, map, check readiness to dispatch, update shipment, send dispatch request and end. Invalid input or a no decision follows the Handle exception subprocess.
Example: parallel data retrieval, combination, mapping, readiness checks, shipment update and dispatch, with a separate exception path.

Decisions & parallel work

Choose and coordinate steps

Decision gateways define alternative paths. Parallel fork and join gateways coordinate multiple branches.

Extensible processing

Build the required behaviour

Workflow definitions include scripts, .NET tasks, subprocesses and loops, plus message, timer and error events.

Mapping transforms data. Workflow coordinates the process

Retrieve and combine information from multiple systems, then control decisions, updates and delivery within one workflow.

Example

Three sources
One enriched message

xT can bring together warehouse, customer and shipment information in one integration flow, then deliver the right information to the right recipient.

1 / Retrieve

Collect from multiple sources

Stock status from a warehouse system and customer references from a CRM, together with shipment data.

2 / Combine

Enrich and map in xT

Combine data, enrich it with database lookups and transform it using mappings.

3 / Deliver

Reach the right recipient

Deliver the message to a customer or partner. Dynamic data can be supplied by the mapping or the server.

Mapping

Transform data into the format each system needs

CargoWise Mapper helps you build mappings that convert information between formats. In an xT integration, each mapping makes sure the receiving system gets the data in the structure it expects.

Reusable mappings

Build once, reuse often

Mapping files is simple. Reuse mappings across integrations instead of starting from scratch.

External lookup

Enrich while you map

Enrich your mapping with database and REST queries during processing.

CargoWise Mapper

Design mappings visually, test them before they go live

CargoWise Mapper is a graphical, drag-and-drop tool for converting messages between formats. It makes it easy to map files.

Screenshot of CargoWise Mapper: a source XML structure on the left is linked to a target EDIFACT structure on the right, with source and target data shown below.
CargoWise Mapper: link source fields to the target structure and check the data side by side.

Visual design

Drag and drop

Link one-to-one, many-to-one and one-to-many fields in a graphical editor. Built-in functions cover string, date and code conversions.

Formats

Many formats, one tool

Map between XML, EDIFACT, JSON, CSV, Excel and flat files. Create your own definitions when a format is not included.

Test and debug

See every step

Run a mapping against test data and compare the result with the expected output. Use trace, step-through and breakpoints to find issues quickly.

Large files

Built for volume

Serial streaming processes files of several gigabytes without loading them fully into memory. Performance depends on the hardware.

Mapping is a step, not the whole solution

xT retrieves, combines and enriches information from multiple systems, controls the workflow, and delivers the result. Mapping is one important step in that process.
