Managed EDI or platform licence: choosing the right operating model

Start with the level of control you need

The right EDI operating model usually comes down to how much control your team wants over the integration environment. Fully Managed EDI is best when you want Velox to design, build, host, monitor and maintain the integrations for you.

A platform licence is better when integration capability is part of your internal technology strategy. Your team can deploy Velox on-premise, in private cloud or in the cloud, then decide how much support you want from Velox.

When managed EDI is a strong fit

Managed EDI suits suppliers, manufacturers, importers and distributors that need to meet customer EDI requirements quickly without adding internal integration overhead.

• Trading partner onboarding is handled by Velox.
• Hosting, monitoring and support are included in the service.
• Pricing is predictable, with no per-message fees.
• Your internal team can stay focused on operations rather than mapping and transport details.

When platform licensing is a strong fit

Platform licensing suits retailers, transport providers and organisations that want to run a broader integration ecosystem.

• You can onboard systems, partners and customers from one platform.
• Velox can be deployed in the environment that fits your security and infrastructure requirements.
• Your team can self-manage, co-manage or use Velox support.
• Costs stay predictable as transaction volume grows.

The important point

Both models use the same Velox integration foundation. That means you can start with the model that fits today and adjust as your integration needs mature.
