Value proposition
Lets enterprises securely connect, govern and orchestrate APIs, integrations, AI models and agents in one platform, with auditability and AI token-cost control.
Products and solutions
Amplify Platform (AI Control Plane / AI Gateway, API Management, Integration Fabric, Engagement Portal), Managed File Transfer (SecureTransport, Transfer CFT, Workbench, Automator), B2B/EDI integration (B2Bi, Business Network VAN, Activator, WebEDI, eInvoicing)
Unique value
A single governed platform that records which model answered, what data it used and who asked, routes simple requests to lower-cost models and reuses paid-for answers. Axway estimates this can cut token spend by 30-40%. It runs in the cloud, on-premises, in a sovereign cloud or fully air-gapped.
Target customer
Large enterprises, especially in regulated industries (banking and financial services, government, healthcare, and others)
Industries served
Banking and financial services, government and public service, healthcare and pharma, logistics and retail, other industries
Technology advantage
Decades of experience with mission-critical integration patterns and regulatory requirements. Amplify works across API gateways customers already run, and extends AI access to legacy systems. Flexible deployment includes air-gapped and sovereign cloud.
How they differentiate
Axway pairs AI governance and cost control with API management, MFT and B2B integration, proven in regulated industries, with sovereign and air-gapped deployment options. Cloud-native rivals focus more on developer-led gateways and iPaaS packaging.
