Over 20% of the Fortune 500 use SpecBuilder today.

Available standalone or as an integrated component in the Edifecs Healthcare Suite, with Edifecs SpecBuilder you can:

• Accelerate your B2B companion/implementation guide development by leveraging an easy-to-use authoring tool that incorporates best practices from a cross section of industries such as healthcare, retail and transportation.
• Easily publish in different formats, such as HTML or PDF so that both internal team members and your external trading partners work from the same document.
• Leverage pre-built integration with other third party products to reduce redundant work. With extensive import and export capabilities, the specifications from SpecBuilder can easily be exported to other third party tools such as translators.
• Keep up with business requirement changes and version changes in a standard by using a powerful difference comparison tool and a migration tool to carry forward the work that has already been done.
• Improved testing scope and depth on each step of the process through automated test data generation and desktop transaction testing and data validation.
• Standardize your B2B requirements process by using one tool for the widest available selection of electronic standards including X12, UN/EDIFACT, HIPAA, HL7, W3C XML Schema (XSD), NCPDP, flat files, various other XML formats, and proprietary formats such as IDOC from SAP.
