Introduction
With more and more companies moving to the cloud, there is increased demand for integration of SaaS offerings using cloud integration platforms but also doing your B2B - Business to Business, in the cloud as a Service. But most companies do not start in the cloud by scratch, they still have systems running on premises, in a container environment, or in as cloud platform service (PaaS - Platform as a service). Usually the systems running there are not exposed as a Service or even shall not, because of security reasons. You still need to integrate those system with your new world, and this is where hybrid B2B comes into place.
Hybrid B2B
For Hybrid B2B we combine 3 products of the webMethods stack, each of them bein powerful tools themselves but bringing great synergies when used together.
webMethods.io B2B is our cloud hosted B2B platform build from over 20 years of experience with Trading Networks as one of the leading B2B servers. We will use the capabilities
- Partner Management
- Document Definition & Recognition
- Processing & Routing Rules
- Monitoring
webMethods.io Integration is our cloud hosted integration platform for SaaS integration. For hybrid B2B the most interesting capabilities are
- SaaS Integration
- Mapping, Transformation & Processing
- Integration of on premise services via hybrid integration
webMethods Microservice Runtime we will use for
- on premise integration
- Mapping, Transformation & Processing of on premise services and APIs
How to do it
I wrote 3 articles in this knowedge base to demonstrate, yow you can do this with webmethods:
- B2B as a Service: Connect a Partner via webMethods.io B2B will show you how to connect to a partner via webMethids.io B2B, how to onboard the partner, define documents and rules for the exchange and how to finally send and receive business documents.
- Hybrid Integration: Expose a local service to webMethods.io integration will demonstrate how to to expose an on premise service to webMethods.io Integration and so have it in an IPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service).
- Hybrid B2B - integrate webMethods.io B2B with webMethods.io Integration will bring those 2 parts together, by including the exposed on premise service in a cloud hosted integration flow and calling this by the processing rule of webMethods.io B2B.

As someone interested in business solutions, I find the concept of hybrid B2B platforms fascinating, offering flexibility and efficiency in operations. The shift to cloud-based systems undoubtedly enhances accessibility and scalability, which is crucial for modern businesses. However, achieving visibility and attracting the right audience in the competitive online landscape requires specialised expertise. This is where a dedicated B2B SEO agency comes into play. These agencies understand the intricacies of optimising for B2B audiences, from refining search strategies to creating engaging content. By partnering with a reputable B2B SEO agency, businesses can maximise their presence on hybrid B2B platforms, reaching their target market effectively and driving meaningful connections within their industry.
