Custom AS2 Bridge Available for Softshare Vista Users

An increasing number of high-profile companies such as Wal-Mart are beginning to require AS2 compliance from their trading partners. AS2 is a communications standard that specifies how data should be delivered, secured, and validated over the Internet using HTTP.

If you're exchanging EDI documents with Wal-Mart or another trading partner that requires AS2 compliance, Softshare Vista Professional can now be enhanced with a custom AS2 bridge. This bridge provides a seamless, easy-to-manage interface between Vista Professional and LexiCom™, an AS2-compliant file transfer tool distributed by Cleo Communications.

With a custom AS2 bridge in place, Vista Professional users can continue to enjoy attractive, template-based forms for the creation and viewing of EDI documents while interacting with LexiCom™ behind the scenes for AS2 compliance. For more information on the Softshare Lexicom AS2 Bridge, read the press release or call us at 800-346-6703.

Note: Vista Professional, via its SMTP-based S/MIME security features, has fully supported the AS1 standard for several years now.
