POTTSVILLE, Pa., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EXTOL International, a leading provider of e-business integration software and services, finalized a partnership agreement today with Effective Data, a leader in EDI, data integration and managed services. As a result, EXTOL customers can now leverage the strengths of both companies to improve their ability to effectively automate B2B and A2A data transactions.

"As companies improve their integration efficiency for B2B and A2A, partnering with high-caliber services organizations like Effective Data offers EXTOL customers a reliable source to service both their in-house and outsourced integration needs," said Mark Denchy, Director of EXTOL's Worldwide Partner Program.
