Our take
As the digital migration of enterprises accelerates, companies must be increasingly cautious about the safety and security of their data. As part of the transference of data, sensitive information must often pass across multiple old and new technologies, putting it at risk. Axway provides tools that integrate and move data securely.

Its Amplify Platform helps companies reduce the complexity of APIs and encourages their adoption. Its Axway B2B Integration platform enables crucial EDI and API integration flows for multinational corporations, which are most at risk of lost, leaked or stolen data.
Through its secure, flexible and compliant tools, Axway helps large companies process tens of billions of dollars annually. Its consistency and ability to keep pace with tech developments is what has enabled Axway to maintain a strong post-IPO position within its sector.
