One platform.
Three lines of business.
Built on ECGrid.

ECGrid is the flagship network and the oldest continuously operated asset in the portfolio. It is the connectivity, transformation, and content delivery backbone that ISVs, integrators, platforms, and enterprises rely on to connect, transact, and scale without operating the network layer themselves.

Most of what is sold in the industry today as "a VAN" is a distribution or resale layer running on infrastructure someone else actually operates. ECGrid is where a meaningful portion of that actually-operating is done. The customer is often an ISV or an iPaaS vendor who has made a deliberate, long-term decision to buy the network rather than build it, and who then sells their differentiated product on top, under their own brand, with full commercial independence from us.

That buy-rather-than-build decision compounds in our favor. Once a platform has embedded ECGrid as its network layer, the switching cost is measured in years of re-engineering. We design for that reality. Long service contracts, long customer tenures, and a product roadmap calibrated for customers with ten-year horizons.

Mapping and translation is the unglamorous center of B2B integration. It is also the part that fails the most, costs the most engineer-hours, and is the least well-served by traditional tooling. ECGrid Simplify is our answer to that problem: a fully managed Transformation-as-a-Service offering that moves the work off the customer's engineering team and onto ours.

Unlike a conventional mapping tool, Simplify is not a product the customer learns to operate. It is a managed service. We build the maps, we maintain them, we test them against trading partner changes, and we keep them running as the partner ecosystem moves underneath. The customer gets outcomes. We keep the complexity.

Operationally, Simplify is layered directly on top of ECGrid. It inherits the same uptime profile, the same governance, the same audit posture. Commercially, it is a higher-margin, recurring managed-service line, which has made it one of the fastest-growing revenue categories in the portfolio since its 2024 launch.

Global Product Access is the newest line of business in the portfolio. Where ECGrid carries transactional documents between trading partners, GPA carries product content: catalog data, rich media, digital assets, and master product information between brands, retailers, and marketplaces. The two networks share the same operating team, the same governance posture, and the same commitment to long-term customer tenure.

Product content has become a category of its own. Consumers expect a product to appear consistently everywhere it is sold, and that consistency is an infrastructure problem, not a SaaS feature. Content has to move reliably, at scale, across partner boundaries, under governance both sides trust. That is the work the network was built for.

Commercially, GPA extends the portfolio to a new buyer inside existing customers, the product, merchandising, and content teams, and opens Loren Data to retailers and brand owners that were not previously ECGrid customers. The launch year is 2025. The underlying network is the one we have been operating since 1999.
