Drummond Group AS4 Whitepaper and Webinar - Web Services B2B

["Beth Morrow" <beth@drummondgroup.com>]

Austin, TX. March 30, 2009--Drummond Group Inc., the trusted interoperability test lab, announces their new white paper, "AS4 - A New Tool for the B2B Toolbox" and another upcoming webinar in a series on AS4. Drummond Group's new Interoperability Certification Program for AS4 will also begin this fall. AS4, a new Web Services messaging standard, defines a simplified approach to securely exchanging business documents using Web Services. It is a profile of the OASIS ebMS 3.0 specification and has evolved over the last two years through work done by the leading business to business messaging software companies and Drummond Group.

"The white paper was written in response to many requests for an AS4 overview and benefits document. It was especially written for those organizations considering Web services messaging as a B2B communication platform alternative." says Beth Morrow, President Drummond Group. "We also invite companies interested to join us for our upcoming AS4 webinar, April 7th, to gain first-hand insights and Q/A opportunities."
  
The challenge for the adoption of secure inter-business communication using Web Services is the complexity of options and the lack of interoperability between products. AS4 simplifies the technical approach to Web Services B2B by merging the best aspects of one of the most successful Internet messaging standards, AS2, with the Web services-centric nature of ebMS 3.0. The white paper explains the business benefits of AS4 for both users and implementers along with a technical overview of the specification and the technology framework that supports it.
 
Register for the webinar by sending an email to Joani@drummondgroup.com.  There is no cost for the webinar.
