Inovis Scores Big on Drummond Interoperability Testing

ATLANTA, June 14 // -- Inovis, a leading provider of supply chain communication solutions, has announced the successful completion of the Drummond Certified(TM) AS2-1Q07 interoperability testing program for its BizManager(TM) B2B gateway solution. Of the 18 companies and 24 products tested, Inovis was one of only three companies that also passed all three optional profile tests: Certificate Exchange Messaging, Multiple Attachment, and Filename Preservation.

AS2, one of the most widely recognized messaging standards for B2B e-commerce, enables users to connect, deliver and reply to data securely and reliably, thereby delivering cost savings and providing flexibility and control on how the data is used. The new optional test and certification in Filename Preservation is intended to support the widespread use of AS2 in the banking and financial services industries.

"There is a recognized need for businesses to maintain rich auditing capabilities for compliance in the exchange of documents using certified standards. Inovis continues to support the emerging requirements of complex, global business communities," said Steve Cochran, said Steve Cochran, Inovis Senior Vice President of Engineering and Infrastructure. "Drummond Certification ensures that our customers can effectively govern their secure business communities with BizManager -- an innovative solution that can significantly enhance and expand their trading partner relationships."
