The Internet Alternative to Traditional VAN Costs
With a single IP connection, EXTOL Portal enables customers to utilize virtually any communications option, encryption, security, or EDI standard generated from any platform for enterprises of all sizes. By setting up one account, companies can connect to trading partners no matter which connectivity or security method they prefer.

The EXTOL Portal is a unique software and service combination that allows you to replace your traditional Value Added Network (VAN), and gain the benefits of IP networking: reduced costs, ease-of-use, and leveraging your existing connectivity (frame relay, PPP, ISDN, and more).

EXTOL Portal uses a standard, secure sockets (SSL) connection to connect your organization with business partners that employ a variety of communication methods on their end. This provides more flexible access capabilities than ever before. Choose virtually any ISP to securely transport your EDI transactions to the Portal. Through its use of SSL, EXTOL Portal provides security, confidentiality, and integrity for your business transactions.
