Inovis BizManager™ Completes Seventh Consecutive Certification from eBusinessReady® for AS2 Interoperability Testing

Leading Business-to-Business Software Demonstrates Continued Commitment to Promoting Trading Partner Efficiencies

ATLANTA, GA - December 13, 2005 — Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business solutions and services, today announced that BizManager™ 3.0 successfully completed the Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) interoperability testing and has been re-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. AS2 is a specification standard that enables users to connect, deliver, and reply to data securely and reliably over the Internet. Inovis underwent testing to demonstrate that the company's AS2 messaging software products comply with a common level of interoperability, thus allowing Inovis customers to effectively communicate with other eBusiness solutions, facilitate efficient trading partner relationships and reduce the costs of transmitting critical business data.

"We are committed to providing our customers with solutions that facilitate execution across the supply chain," said Jeff Schroeder, senior vice president of marketing for Inovis. "Internet technologies such as AS2 ensure seamless interoperability and support new, faster methodologies for business data communication that provide security and integrity. BizManager enables our customers to truly take advantage of cost-saving efficiencies by assuring compliance with leading industry standards."

BizManager 3.0 underwent extensive and rigorous testing to verify a common level of interoperability among all products in the test round. 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.
