STERLING GENTRAN SUPPORT
IBM has made the decision to push you to Sterling Integrator and cease Sterling Gentran Support. Many
Gentran users say, “Our EDI system works fine and this is not in the budget!” The Data Integration Specialists Gentran Support group will allow you to remain on Gentran, ensure your EDI trading partner relationships remain healthy and your budget stays intact to be allocated toward other projects.
