Sometimes innovation is sparked not in the lab, but in the field when a client comes forward with a challenge that demands more than “out of the box.” That’s exactly how bTrade’s latest success story began.
The Challenge
A long-time financial services customer was in the middle of migrating off an aging IBM Managed File Transfer product. While they were ready to modernize with bTrade’s flagship TDXchange platform, they had a critical requirement: the ability to perform data transformation on the fly as part of their migration.
It wasn’t just EDI files, either. This client’s workflows spanned multiple data types, formats, and protocols and all of which needed to be mapped, converted, and exchanged without introducing risk, delays, or security gaps.
The Research
At bTrade, we take pride in listening first, then engineering the right solution. Our team began evaluating technologies that could handle the complexity of real-time, rules-based data transformation without bolting on heavy middleware or slowing down the secure transfer process that TDXchange is known for.
That’s when we discovered datuum.ai. Their AI-driven platform was purpose-built for mapping and automating complex data conversions. It not only handled traditional EDI but also supported a wide range of other data formats, using artificial intelligence to streamline what historically had been a slow, manual, and error-prone process.
The Partnership
Rather than reinvent the wheel, bTrade partnered with datuum.ai. Together, our teams worked at record speed to design and deliver a fully integrated solution:
- TDXchange provided the secure, compliant, and resilient backbone for Managed File Transfer.
- datuum.ai supplied the AI intelligence to automatically identify, map, and transform multiple data flows.
Within weeks, the joint solution was tested, deployed, and rolled out across the client’s ecosystem.
The Result
The client achieved more than a migration. They gained a highly secure and highly configurable solution that combined the strengths of both platforms:
- Security First: All transfers and transformations occur within TDXchange’s hardened, encrypted environment.
- Flexibility: Support for EDI and non-EDI formats alike, ensuring no workflow was left behind.
- Configurability: The AI-driven mapping process dramatically reduced implementation time and simplified future changes.
- Speed to Value: What could have been a multi-quarter integration project was delivered in record time.
The Takeaway
This project is a clear example of how two agile companies with deep expertise in their fields can come together to solve real-world problems faced by customers. datuum’s AI-driven technology brought intelligence and adaptability to complex data transformation, while bTrade’s TDXchange delivered the secure, compliant backbone for Managed File Transfer.
The datuum team demonstrated exceptional technical skill and adaptability, collaborating seamlessly with bTrade engineers and even releasing new features during integration to meet evolving requirements. The result was not just a migration, but a next-generation data exchange solution that is secure, configurable, and future-ready.
We are confident this marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between bTrade and datuum, one that will continue to deliver innovation and measurable value to clients navigating the challenges of modern data transformation and secure transfer.
