The certification grants EXTOL's customers greater confidence and capabilities to meet their trading partners' demands for secure and complete online transactions.

Widely used in many industries for trading partner communications, the AS2 messaging standard enables businesses to exchange data securely and reliably, with greater flexibility and at a lower cost. As a Drummond Group certified solution, ESX 5.5 enables companies to conduct online business with any new or existing partners that use AS2-compliant products.

ESX 5.5 additionally passed the program's optional FN and FN-MDN filename preservation profile tests.

"With threats to the confidentiality, dependability and integrity of Internet-based communications, trading partners are demanding safe and dependable methods to exchange sensitive business data," said Jim O'Leary, vice president of product management for EXTOL. "Earning AS2 Interoperability and compliance certification for ESX for the eighth year in a row further validates EXTOL's commitment to protecting the privacy and integrity of information exchanged online."

EXTOL Secure Exchange 5.5 applies advanced encryption, authentication and non-repudiation methods to enable secure data interchange between partners using AS2-compliant communications tools.
