Edifecs Leads Healthcare Industry with the most Comprehensive Community Enablement Solution


BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 30 -- Edifecs, Inc., the leading provider of B2B solutions for transaction interoperability, today announced that its Community Enablement solution, Edifecs CommerceDesk, has become the pre-eminent solution for healthcare payers to rapidly on-board and manage thousands of direct trading partners.

With over 100 trading partner communities implemented ranging in size from hundreds to thousands of trading partners, Edifecs now occupies the top spot among vendors, and is leading the way as the undisputed leader in interoperability assurance for healthcare. Only Edifecs provides a standards- agnostic enablement solution, with support for all healthcare standards such as HIPAA, NCPDP, HL7, NSF and others. Edifecs' CommerceDesk is being used by every segment of the healthcare industry including Blue Plans, Medicaid & State Plans, Fiscal Agents and Clearinghouses.

In head-to-head evaluations, Edifecs quickly and consistently emerges as the solution of choice in each of the above healthcare segments.

Edifecs' CommerceDesk is the only community enablement application in the market that tackles the entire enablement process in a comprehensive manner. Trading partner enablement involves a community-centric, collaborative approach to automating, streamlining and documenting the enablement process within a repeatable framework, allowing organizations to make informed decisions about moving partners into production, at the least possible cost. CommerceDesk also supports the concept of forming non-exclusive grouping of trading partners to form mini-communities for tracking individual initiatives and programs. The Edifecs CommerceDesk architecture allows it to be tightly knitted into third party middleware platforms and applications.

Community enablement includes partner management, partner recruitment, partner testing and certification, scenario management, enablement knowledgebase, test data generation and management, end-to-end testing, test workflow management, compliance reports, activity reporting, test metrics tracking, partner support, and identifying and establishing enablement best practices. Edifecs solution provides all the above within an integrated framework and allows the formation of a knowledgebase of best practices that can be leveraged for greater efficiencies over time.

"Enterprises have come to realize that manual methods and one-off testing web site solutions are in and of themselves roadblocks to ROI in the new HIPAA-enabled interoperability paradigm," said Sunny Singh, CEO of Edifecs. "Edifecs started tackling enablement from a holistic approach in 1999 and continues to innovate and extend the solution to provide the market with the only real comprehensive, end to end solution for community enablement."
