What is AS2 or Applicability Standard 2?

Applicability Standard 2 is one of the most typical methods for transporting data, especially EDI data. AS2 essentially is a connection over the internet between a client and a server, connecting point to point via the internet. In this way, AS2 provides transfer of EDI data securely, reliably and efficiently.



Here are a few reasons why you should be utilizing AS2:

The usage of AS2 allows seamless transmission of EDI data so that it is readily available in real time.
Many organizations require their partners to use AS2 due to rising security standards for all communications. Healthcare, for example, is a key sector since AS2 satisfies HIPAA compliance requirements.
Industry leaders such as Walmart, Target and Bed Bath and Beyond have helped drive adoption of AS2 in the retail sector.
AS2 provides flexible data transmission and authentication with relatively low cost.
