Secure Commerce Evolution


This illustration provides a simple view of the progression of B2B and how the past, present and future technology layers within B2B combine to create a unique set of requirements for a Secure Commerce infrastructure.

Security Architecture: Having worked in the Secure Commerce arena for over fifteen years, SAA are experts in understanding your enterprise's security needs. REIMS, combined with the Secure Commerce architecture, is based around a set of secure services offering multiple dimensions of security.

Delivery of Concept: SAA have specifically embarked upon a development programme to prove the appropriateness of REIMS as a long-term secure B2B solution. REIMS is unique and delivers multiple approvals and accreditations. It is the only product on the market today that is able to combine the commercial security standards of AS2, with the financial standards introduced in the new BACSTEL-IP connections and the government secure standards, as illustrated through the options for the Government Gateway.

REIMS Product History: The REIMS product range has been developed using SAA's expertise and knowledge of the B2B integration and knowledge management marketplaces and delivers the infrastructure to enable companies to control their strategy and realise B2B interoperability.

We support an open policy, developing solutions across Windows, UNIX, Linux and IBM System i (iSeries), in addition to using open Internet technology and standards such as Java, XML and Web Services. In addition, the REIMS products conform to the J2EE architecture, can be implemented across multiple platforms and are .NET compliant for Windows installations with the REIMS Web Services Controller as a bridge between both environments.
