Inovis First Communication Provider To Offer UCCnet 2.1-Certified Network Service
ATLANTA (September 25, 2002) - Inovis™, an enabler of B2B communities, announced today it is the first communication provider to achieve value added network service certification for UCCnet Foundation Services 2.1 for the Get2Connect
SM global trading network. Trading partners in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry can use Get2Connect to more easily and cost-efficiently establish UCCnet connectivity.
Inovis is comprised of the former Harbinger and Extricity businesses. As a Preferred Alliance Partner in the UCCnet Partners In Sync program, Inovis can help companies quickly comply with a portfolio of UCCnet-ready products. Get2Connect serves as the foundation of the Inovis solution suite.
"Our mission is to help companies of all sizes participate in B2B commerce. Facilitating UCCnet compliance as a trusted intermediary is an important part of this effort," said Dave Williams, Inovis President and CEO. "Get2Connect is of great benefit to small- to mid-sized companies that want to take part in UCCnet, but cannot easily manage the physical connectivity requirements themselves."
According to Fred Geiger, senior vice president of product management at UCCnet, "The Inovis network provides an integral component for driving continued growth in the small- to mid-sized manufacturer segment - a key market for UCCnet."
UCCnet is rapidly gaining popularity as an open platform for collaborative commerce. Item registry and data synchronization through UCCnet enable suppliers to communicate new or changed product data, ensuring that all trading partners use identical, accurate and standardized item information.
As UCCnet subscribers continue to expand, a large percentage will be small- to mid-sized manufacturers that will face financial or technical obstacles in connecting directly to the UCCnet hub. Inovis allows this segment of the community to easily connect through the Get2Connect network. Get2Connect delivers reliability, security and the ability to accept and transmit virtually any data format. Inovis currently processes over 1.4 million e-commerce transactions each business day.
In addition to value added network service, UCCnet-ready options for Power.Commerce!™ and TrustedLink™ iSeries Edition are available from Inovis now, with options for TrustedLink (Windows, UNIX/NT) and Alliance Manager to be released in the near future.
