Inovis BizManager™ 3.0 Certified in AS3
Interoperability Test

Leading Business-to-Business Software Demonstrates Superior Interoperability and Conformance in Advancing
Trading Partner Relationships

ATLANTA, GA - August 17, 2005 — Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business solutions and services, today announced that BizManager 3.0 successfully completed the AS3-2Q05 interoperability testing and has been certified by eBusinessReady®, an industry-neutral software certification program under joint partnership of the GS1 US™, formerly the Uniform Code Council, Inc.® (UCC®), and Drummond Group Inc. (DGI).

An eBusinessReady-certified product enables vertical and horizontal compliance and interoperability across the supply chain and distribution channels. AS3 is a new specification standard that allows applications to communicate Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Extensible Markup Language (XML) data via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over the Internet, enabling users to connect, deliver and reply to data securely and reliably. AS3 provides security for the transport payload through digital signatures and data encryption, and also ensures reliable delivery through the use of receipts. By completing this interoperability test event, Inovis demonstrated superior interoperability and conformance and a proven means for supply chains to securely interact with their trading partners.

"Interoperability of business-to-business products for the Internet is essential for the long-term acceptance and growth of electronic commerce," said Sean Feeney, president and CEO for Inovis. "Our successful participation in this testing round shows our commitment to providing secure and interoperable Internet commerce and further contributing to the adoption of the AS3 Internet standard."

BizManager 3.0 underwent extensive and rigorous testing to verify a common level of interoperability among all products in the test round. As the latest version of Inovis' business-to-business gateway for trading partner and business community integration, BizManager 3.0 provides a single comprehensive solution that combines trading partner management with state-of-the-art transformation and mapping technology. BizManager 3.0 enables companies to reduce network costs through platform consolidation, decrease business cycle times through real-time EDI and more effectively respond to changing business demands with traditional and next-generation protocol and format support.
