VersaLex Earns Drummond Certification for AS2 Interoperability

Cleo LexiCom and VLTrader now adhere to latest AS2 Messaging specifications

Rockford , IL — Cleo ® Communications, a leading provider of data communications products and services since the mid 1980’s, today announced that VersaLex™ v3.4 achieved the latest Drummond Certification™ for Global AS2 interoperability. VersaLex is Cleo’s secure Internet communications technology that powers Cleo’s popular client-based software, LexiCom™, as well as Cleo’s server solution, VersaLex Trader (VLTrader™).

Cleo is one of four participants that have completed testing for AS2 in every quarter since 2Q02. In 1Q07, VersaLex underwent several rounds of rigorous testing to verify certificate and data exchange, security, compression, and receipt capabilities. Cleo was among eighteen AS2-1Q07 participants to partake in the testing.

AS2 is one of the most widely recognized messaging standards for B2B e-commerce with thousands of implementations around the globe. It enables users to connect, deliver and reply to data securely and reliably, thereby delivering cost savings and providing flexibility and control on how the data is utilized. Major supply chains in retail, financial services, pharmaceutical, consumer product goods, automotive and petroleum industries rely on the Drummond Certified program for a selection of software tested for compliance and interoperability, and rely on Cleo as a proven technology.

“The adoption and use of AS2 has continued to grow substantially,” commented Tim Myers, Director of Engineering for Cleo Communications, “Our repeated certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our customers using AS2 for secure communication.”

The Drummond certification program provides neutral third party testing of solutions for interoperability and compliance. The current AS2 test results are listed on the Drummond Group (DGI) website at http://www.drummondgroup.com/html-v2/as2-companies.html

More about AS2

Applicability Statement 2, abbreviated AS2, is becoming the preferred standard for e-commerce communications, specifically among retailers and companies that realize the need for secure, reliable standards. AS2 is a standard by which applications communicate EDI data, or other information such as XML documents, over the Internet using the HTTP/S protocol. AS2 offers increased verification and security achieved through the use of receipts and digital signatures. Another edge for AS2: Its transactions and acknowledgements occur in real-time, increasing the efficiency of document exchanges.
