DX2 is an online platform for bringing your business into the digital era. DX2 makes paper-to-ERP, data entry, and integration into existing platforms easy.
DX2 is designed using the "hub and spoke" model, where DX2 is the hub that connects Trading Partners, the spokes, at a central point. Using this model, the Trading Partner needs to connect only to a web browser to exchange documents, which are converted to EDI documents behind the scenes.
An analogy is that of a train network: the hub (DX2) acts as the train station, and the spokes act as the passengers. This way, Trading Partners need only board one train (the DX2 network) to have access to all other stations.
A Trading Partner in DX2 is often an organisation in the real world, though this is not a hard-and-fast rule.
