BELLEVUE, Wash. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- June
16, 2004 -- Edifecs, the proven provider
for rapidly deploying and managing trading
partner networks, today announced a
major upgrade across all products. The
products include SpecBuilder 5.5, XEngine
5.5 and CommerceDesk 5.5, all available
immediately.
SpecBuilder is the #1 selling authoring
tool for EDI and B2B transactions
and is now the first and only authoring
tool that can handle guidelines for
positional flat files formats like
IDOC from SAP and UB/NSF in addition
to a comprehensive set of EDI and
healthcare HIPAA formats. These guidelines
are used for automatic data validation
and automatic test data generation
which makes it easier and faster to
test and deploy B2B and application
networks.
XEngine is the #1 deployed engine
for EDI instream validation and is
now also the most robust validation
engine for production data validation
for HIPAA and other EDI standards.
A new data filtering component filters
out medical claims that contain errors
in transactions (like HIPAA 837 claims)
while continuing to process correct
claims. This allows, for example,
hospitals that daily submit thousands
of claims to an insurance provider
to be paid for correct claims immediately,
while erroneous claims are corrected
and later re-submitted. This dramatically
improves the cash flows of medical
providers. Most translators today
reject the full batch of claims if
they cannot all be processed delaying
payment for medical providers.
CommerceDesk is the #1 used portal
for trading partner enablement and
management and is now the most customizable
portal for trading partner enablement
including significant enhancements
around trading partner management,
next generation functionality for
reporting including advanced filtering,
views and dashboards, new statistical
compliance reports for trading partners,
as well as new support for healthcare
standards such as NCPDP, NSF and UB.
The new features will allow major
CommerceDesk users, like The Home
Depot, to streamline the management
of thousands of trading partners,
thus increasing efficiency while decreasing
cost.
"These products further Edifecs
leadership position in the rapidly
growing market around trading partner
networks. Working with over a thousand
customers deploying and enabling trading
networks, we are excited to see how
they improve their return on investment
through our technology," said
Sunny Singh, CEO of Edifecs.
"By implementing Edifecs CommerceDesk,
NextGen has reduced each new client
implementation by almost 40%."
said Tim Eggena, VP of Product Development,
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems,
Inc.
