Trubiquity Solution Certified for OFTP2 Compliance by Odette
By Trubiquity, PRNEWednesday, February 3, 2010
ROCHESTER HILLS, Michigan, February 4 - Trubiquity, a leading international provider of global managed data
exchange (MDE) and business process integration solutions, announced today
that its B2B communication product TRUeurex-c has been certified by Odette
International Ltd, the European automotive standards organization, as being
fully compliant with the new OFTP2 communication protocol specifications.
Upon successful completion of the last stage of interoperability tests
including the verification of meeting all of OFTP2's new security features,
the solution has been issued official certification from Odette. TRUeurex-c
is used by over 2,000 companies to enable CAD and EDI data exchange as a
standalone or as a part of a more comprehensive Trubiquity or partner
solution.
The OFTP File Transfer Protocol (OFTP) is a de facto standard for the
automated standardized data exchange between trading partners within business
sectors such as automotive, engineering and transportation. OFTP2, the new
version of the protocol, was developed for secure data exchange globally over
the public Internet, reducing data transport costs and increasing
transmission speed dramatically. Trubiquity has played an active role in the
Odette OFTP2 working group to ensure the development and release of this
important standard and was involved in the initial development of the testing
specifications.
"OFTP2 provides improved capabilities for data encryption, partner
authentication, digital signatures, compression and other features. Our
proven OFTP2 capabilities provides added functionality to Trubiquity's global
managed data exchange solutions used by customers in Europe, the Americas and
Asia Pacific," said Klas Uhthoff, Trubiquity's Technology Director.
Key automotive manufacturers have announced OFTP2 data exchange
strategies in order to reduce communication costs and to benefit from a
globally available, fast, reliable and secure communication protocol. These
strategies will require automotive supply chains to comply with the
requirements by implementing the appropriate software. Therefore, Trubiquity
has developed its OFTP2 solution TRUeurex-c and has incorporated support of
OFTP2 into a number of its managed data exchange automation solutions, for
instance TRUfusion Connect and TRUfusion Enterprise.
