Axway Sentinel – What’s in a Name?

sen·ti·nel (n.): A lookout, watchman, guard

With Axway Sentinel looking out for your business 24 hours a day, you can anticipate, spot, and resolve issues before they negatively impact your supply chain. Through intuitive dashboards for monitoring events and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in real time, Sentinel provides a global — yet sharply focused — view of all of your IT and business processes, including Managed File Transfer and B2B transactions.

Because Sentinel tracks processing chains at both technical and business levels, it puts events and processes in a context that is easy for business managers and IT staff to understand. And, Sentinel can monitor both Axway and third-party applications and systems, giving your enterprise clear visibility into all data flows throughout your extended supply chain.

Based on a collaborative, service-oriented architecture, Axway’s business analytics software provides:

  • End-to-end visibility. Optimize order-to-cash processes and reduce problem resolution time and costs by as much as 80% with Sentinel's event monitoring, non-event detection, and proactive notification of potential process disruptions.
  • Predictability and agility. Improve responsiveness to customer and partner requests with configurable business processes, KPIs, and self-diagnostic tools that support internal teams and external trading partners.
  • Flexibility and interoperability. Streamline vendor management and monitor any application script or application in your system. Sentinel’s open, service-oriented architecture delivers true interoperability within your enterprise IT infrastructure and with your trading partners.
  • Usability. Use Sentinel's intuitive graphic objects to construct customized KPI dashboards to see real-time visual representations of system and business process health.
  • Enterprise intelligence. Sentinel aggregates business metrics with a correlation rules engine that defines business and technical KPIs, and processes monitored data to define and initiate actions automatically.
  • Traceability. Monitor all of your operations, including current and historical activity of the Axway Synchrony platform. Capture system changes as audit events for regulatory compliance. And locate specific transactions using ascending and descending audit trail capabilities.
  • Centralized monitoring and management. Improve governance with a single, global view of your IT operations and business processes.
