Award-Winning Software Successfully Completes ebXML-3Q04 Interoperability Testing to Further Facilitate Implementation and Enhance Trading Partner Relationships

ATLANTA, GA — January 26, 2005 — Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business solutions and services, announced today that BizManager 3.0 has been certified by eBusinessReady, an industry-neutral software compliance and interoperability testing program under joint partnership of the Uniform Code Council, Inc.® (UCC®) and Drummond Group Inc. (DGI), for its participation in the ebXML-3Q04 interoperability testing.

An eBusinessReady–certified product enables vertical and horizontal interoperability across the supply chain and distribution channels. ebXML messaging is a key standard that enables Web services, providing secure and reliable messaging for business-to-business communications. This test round included a series of functionality tests for those participants within the automotive and health-care industries. Inovis demonstrated that its ebXML messaging software product, BizManager 3.0, complied with a common level of interoperability, enabling it to effectively communicate with other eBusiness solutions, eliminating costly communication obstacles and facilitating efficient trading partner relationships.

“It is our goal to offer our customers a value-added product that will ease implementation efforts across their supply chain,” said Mike Croxton, senior vice president for marketing and product management at Inovis. “eBusinessReady’s certification of BizManager is further validation of our commitment to help companies take advantage of the cost-saving efficiencies offered by supporting industry standards.”
