What is a business network?

A business network is a cloud platform that connects and manages all data, within the enterprise and outside the firewall. Securely connecting data with people, systems and things enables streamlined business processes and delivers new insights and value.

Business networks lay the necessary foundation for turning data into actionable insights. Delivered as a cloud service, they enable data integration, data management and secure data exchange across an increasingly complex network of on-premises and cloud applications, connected devices and business partners or customers.
