SEEBURGER Earns Q1 2013 Drummond Certification for AS2 Interoperability

ATLANTA, July 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global business integration software provider SEEBURGER announced today that the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) has earned Drummond Certified™ status in the Drummond Group's AS2 interoperability testing for Q1 2013, validating the ability of the SEEBURGER platform to interface with other current Drummond Certified products utilizing the widely adopted AS2 messaging standard for business-to-business commerce.

The SEEBURGER platform also successfully completed eight optional test profiles, including the SHA-2 (Secure Hashing Algorithm) profile testing vendor support for special AS2 messaging requirements being used for added security by U.S. federal agencies, the U.S. and European energy industry, and the DEA's Controlled Substances Ordering Systems (CSOS);  and the Chunked Transfer Encoding (CTE) profile testing the ability to transfer AS2 message content in a series of chunks using CTE and AS2 restart for guaranteed message delivery.  SEEBURGER successfully completed the CTE test for both outbound and inbound messages.

The SEEBURGER suite is the only one in the Drummond Group testing – and the only one on the market – that integrates business-to-business (B2B) communications and secure managed file transfer (MFT) into a single platform with a common gateway and consolidated audit trail. This ability to unify the management of structured and unstructured data, including B2B and EDI supply chain messages as well as human-to-human, human-to-system and system-to-system file transfers inside and outside the corporate firewall, simplifies the IT infrastructure, reduces the total cost of ownership, and streamlines corporate and regulatory compliance efforts by increasing visibility. 

"We have been Drummond Certified for years, but each new testing round assures businesses that our platform continues to provide AS2 interoperability for safe and secure supply chain communications as we release new versions, patches and enhancements," said Rohit Khanna, EVP, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, at SEEBURGER. "With the widespread global adoption of the AS2 messaging standard, this certification is essential for virtually all organizations that exchange purchase orders and other structured as well as unstructured messages – from retailers and manufacturers to companies in the financial services, energy/utilities and technology sectors and beyond."
