Let's connect ↗PCM — Community Manager
Build a repeatable trading-partner lifecycle on IBM Sterling B2B Integrator. Pragma Edge Community Manager brings onboarding, self-service, certification and ongoing partner changes into a coordinated B2B and managed file transfer experience.
Partner ecosystems keep changing. New document requirements, certificate changes, cloud migrations and tighter delivery windows all land on the same transaction infrastructure. Modernization needs to account for the complete exchange, including the business process waiting at the other end.
Pragma Edge connects partner onboarding, transformation, secure transport and production support. We start with the exchanges that matter most, expose their dependencies and build a phased change plan around certification and recoverability.
A stronger operating model makes change repeatable. Partner variations stay documented, release evidence stays connected to the transaction, and the support team knows what to do when an exchange stops.
A new customer signs. The commercial clock starts. But the connection still needs forms, credentials, document mapping, test exchanges and multiple approvals. When every partner follows a different path, the onboarding queue becomes a constraint on the business.
Configure partner-specific B2B, MFT, transaction and file requirements through reusable workflows. Combine human tasks with automated steps.
Enable partner self-service for connection details and certificates, with self-certification supporting the onboarding process.
Support common protocols including SFTP, FTPS, AS2 and HTTPS, and business formats such as EDI, EDIFACT and XML.
Coordinate certificate-change campaigns, partner activation and ongoing maintenance across the Sterling environment.
Define invitation, configuration, certification and activation stages. Connect partner submissions to integration setup, test evidence and approval; establish maintenance paths for certificates and business changes.
Baseline the measures relevant to your engagement, then compare results through implementation and operation.
Illustrative use cases to shape your evaluation.
Prioritize suppliers by business readiness. Treat protocol setup, document certification and production ownership as a single onboarding journey, so procurement can see what still blocks the first exchange.
Use a coordinated partner campaign to organize a certificate update. Agree who validates the change, which partners need assistance and how completion will be tracked before the old credential expires.
Agree a baseline and an acceptance threshold with the process owner. These are evaluation measures, not claimed customer results.
Bring one new partner, one existing partner change and the documents each must exchange. Ask to follow both paths from intake through certification and the operational handoff.
