E2open Earns Drummond Certification in Fall 2014 ebMS 2.0 Interoperability Test Event

FOSTER CITY, Calif., March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open (NASDAQ: EOPN), the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for collaborative planning and execution across global trading networks, today announced that the latest release of E2 Cloud Connectivity has been Drummond Certified™ in the ebMS 2.0 (ebXML Messaging Standard)-4Q14 interoperability test event. E2open participated in this vendor-neutral test event held across multiple time zones during the fourth quarter of 2014. Drummond Group Inc., the trusted leader in interoperability software testing, named E2open's solution as one of five newly certified products. ebMS 2.0 is E2open's newest certification from the Drummond Group, building off of the company's long legacy of achieving the AS2 certification and successfully testing against its optional profiles.

"The Drummond Certified™ program has provided numerous companies with innovative ways to test their newest software applications in a vendor-neutral environment for many years, and continues to fully support the ebMS Messaging standard," said Rik Drummond, CEO of Drummond Group Inc. "Multiple global industries rely on these effective ebMS standard-based applications to save time and money when exchanging enormous amounts of data via the Internet in a secure and reliable method. We commend these global companies on their commitment to working together and creating software that offer extra benefits for their customers."

ebMS 2.0 is the messaging layer of the ebXML framework. ebXML Messaging is an OASIS standard that enables secure and reliable Internet data interchange and is complementary to integration with E2open's customers' Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Interoperability certification of ebMS 2.0 products continues to be important to organizations, such as E2open, who work with a growing customer base in multiple industries, including aerospace and defense, agriculture, automotive, chemicals, consumer goods, oil and gas, and transportation.

"As supply chains stretch worldwide, the ability to facilitate real-time collaboration, and to better connect with trading partners within a trusted business network, is vital for today's leading global organizations," said Ian Hedges, Vice President, Platform, E2open.

In building upon our existing capabilities, the latest certification from the Drummond Group will allow us to continue to deliver on our commitment to better serve our global customer base by adding another protocol option for their trading partners to leverage to join the business network."
