AS2 Modernized for the Cloud Era

If your business needs to securely exchange Orders, Invoices, Load Tenders, or any other EDI document with your trading partners, AS2 is the de-facto standard used around the world.  

While historically, AS2 has been limited to outdated, on-premises systems that requires constant maintenance and upgrades, Files.com is the key towards modernizing your AS2 protocols to adopt all the benefits of the cloud by providing an always-on service that elastically scales to meet any workload and stays automatically updated for you.   

Legacy Protocol, Cloud-Native Power

Use AS2 in conjunction with your chosen cloud storage provider from Amazon to Microsoft to Google. No matter what integrations you have, you can continue to access your files via web browser, command line, or the desktop app.  

The Files.com platform provides endless possibilities for automating and integrating your Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, and Load-Tender-to-Invoice processes so that manual work, including delays and human errors, are reduced. Faster turn-around times for these business processes will also reduce chargebacks, help meet partner SLAs, and improve business flows with your partners.

Turn AS2 into a Fully Managed Cloud Server with Files.com

Files.com transforms AS2 from a complex, on-premise protocol into a fully managed, cloud-native service. Instead of maintaining physical servers, managing certificates, and worrying about uptime, you get a secure, scalable AS2 endpoint hosted on the Files.com platform.

As your AS2 server, Files.com handles everything from HTTPS-based transfers, encryption, digital signatures, message integrity checks, and MDN receipts for non-repudiation. Your trading partners connect to your AS2 ID and URL exactly as they would with a traditional server - without the infrastructure burden on your side.

Managing partner configurations is simple through the Files.com web interface or API. You can assign separate AS2 IDs, exchange certificates, define routing rules, and onboard new partners quickly. And because Files.com also supports SFTP, FTPS, and HTTPS, you can unify all your file transfer protocols on one platform—complete with automation, detailed logging, access controls, and secure sharing features like Share Links.

Integration Options

Remote Server Mount and Sync provides the ability to push or pull files to or from remote servers, giving full access to the files you have on AS2, making leveraging AS2 services and your workload more manageable while continuing to take advantage of the security features and permissions built into your Files.com site.
