Enterprise expertise for IBM Sterling B2B Integrator environments.

The DIVE Platform

A modern operational layer for IBM Sterling B2B Integrator.

DIVE gives operations teams one place to see file activity, administer partners and flows, and govern what changes — while IBM Sterling B2B Integrator continues to run every transfer exactly as it does today.

Visibility

File and transfer activity searchable by partner, flow, protocol, status, and time window, with the outcome of every delivery attempt.

Monitoring

Volume and health trends, delivery outcomes over time, ranked failure categories, and an exceptions queue for abnormal behaviour.

Administration

Partners, flows, protocol profiles, code lists, and notifications managed from one governed interface.

Governance

Versioned flow definitions with effective-from dates and attributable change history.

Role-based access

Administrator, standard user, and partner user roles, so support can investigate without full platform credentials.

Operational efficiency

Partner onboarding as configuration against reusable patterns rather than a new business process per partner.

Brownfield modernization

Modernize without rebuilding everything.

A ten-year-old environment is not ten years of technical debt. Much of it works, serves the business, and carries partner relationships that took months to establish. Replacing all of it is expensive and introduces partner-facing risk for no operational return.

We classify before we change: what runs reliably and should be kept, what is fragile and should be refactored into reusable patterns, and what has carried no traffic in a year and should be retired. Working business processes, ITX maps, XSLTs, partner configuration, routing, and integrations are preserved where they remain fit for purpose.

How we approach modernization →

  • KeepRuns reliably, is understood, and meets current partner and security requirements.
  • RefactorServes a real purpose but is fragile, undocumented, or duplicated per partner.
  • RetireNo traffic in twelve months, verified against platform data rather than opinion.
