BELLEVUE, WA. September 28, 2004 -- Edifecs, the proven provider of B2B solutions for transactionbased
interoperability, is rapidly gaining momentum with Edifecs XEngine, a key component of
the Edifecs Healthcare Interoperability Solution. Over a dozen healthcare customers recently
decided to deploy Edifecs XEngine for transaction based interoperability - including
WellPoint/Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, Blue Cross of Idaho, Harrington, and WEA Trust.
Today more than ever, enterprises are relying on real-time information to make key business
decisions and to monitor their business activity. Therefore it is vital that these decisions are based
on complete and accurate data.
Edifecs XEngine ensures operational interoperability with your trading partners by validating
HIPAA and other B2B transactions for syntax, semantics and company-specific business rules.
By having real-time checks and filters on the data entering your enterprise, you can be assured
that your back-end applications and data warehouses do not contain incorrect or inaccurate data.
XEngine's powerful transaction technology will:
- Increase first-pass rates through rich up-front validation and transaction splitting that removes invalid data from your clean data.
- Improve your data workflow through data repacking, (e.g. take one data file and re-group it into multiple data files based on business policies).
- Bridge the gap between EDI, flat files and XML by converting back and forth between them.
- Extend your infrastructure to support all EDI and B2B standards with out-of-the-box integration for Gentran, IBM Websphere, Mercator, Microsoft BizTalk, Oracle, SeeBeyond, TIBCO, and others.
Integrating Edifecs XEngine in the production transaction stream ensures that customers like
WEA Trust can improve their interoperability with their partners. Better interoperability reduces
errors and leads to faster turn around time for claims being submitted by their provider
community.
"Interoperability is a key issue for healthcare organizations who are relying on electronic
transactions with their business partners. We are excited to see the success customers are
having deploying our state-of-the-art interoperability solution" said Sunny Singh, Edifecs CEO.
