Hello Folks,
All those names suggested by the folks on this list will work but some of them dont certify regularly so you have to make sure if they have certified lately or you could be in contravention of some trade partner guidelines. Some of the names suggested by some of the folks have last certified in 2003-2004. So please visit <http://www.drummondgroup.com/html-v2/as2-companies-current.html> http://www.drummondgroup.com/html-v2/as2-companies-current.html to see the current certified list. My suggestions in no particular order of AS2 software that have stayed current and certify regularly and are recommended by the Tangentia B2B consulting group include. 1) IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway- comes from a Fortune 500 company and is rock solid we have implemented 50+ of these in various industries 2) Cleo Lexicom this is another one of our favourites and is simple to implement and they have shrink wrapped trading partner connections for free so it will mean less consulting overhead to install and test. 3) N software this is also a nice solution and they have upgrades for RosettaNet, ebXML etc as well. The big advantage with N software is that you can start with their free version and then upgrade. Earl does back this one as well. See below list of current certified AS2 software (extract from the Drummond site as of 12 noon Eastern -17th February,2011) Sincerely, Vijay Thomas B.Eng, M.B.A Partner Tangentia Consulting 211,Consumers Road Suite 206 Toronto, ON, M2J4G8 Tel- 416-238-7515 ext 111 email- <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.tangentia.com/> www.tangentia.com Join Tangentia in "Help for Haiti" initiative with Unicef:- <http://www.unicef.ca/tangentia> www.unicef.ca/tangentia CURRENT CERTIFIED PRODUCT LIST Company Name Product Name Optional Profiles <http://www.axway.com/> Axway Axway B2Bi 1.4/Axway Interchange 5.9/Axway Activator 5.9 MA, FN, FN-MA, CEM, Chunked Transfer Encoding (CTE), Reliability, Restart <http://www.axway.com/> Axway Axway Gateway 6.13 FN <http://www.axway.com/> Axway Axway SecureTransport 4.9 <http://www.boomi.com/> Dell | Boomi Boomi AtomSphere Winter 11 <http://www.cleo.com/> Cleo Communications Inc.

BizLink (GXS/Inovis)...it's the best I have seen so far (and I have seen Axway, Sterling Integrater, etc.). I'm no salesperson...but very impressed with the product. You can even expand it by purchasing the mapper service if you want to. VERY stable. The only negative thing I can say about it have been their salepeople's ability to really show off the product. Hopefully GXS realize this problem because they have a great product...but may be losing sales due to their salespeople. -Ashlie --- In [email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> , Dhiraj Patil <dhiraj_patil@...> wrote: > > Hello Sandy > Â > It mainly depends upon how much volume you are going to put on your AS2 software. ..
