Edifecs, the leading provider of B2B solutions for transaction-based interoperability,
today announced it has entered into an agreement to license NHBC its XEngine product.
The Edifecs EDI adapter, Edifecs XEngine, supports an extensive list of EDI standards for healthcare and other industries,
allowing users to process EDI transactions both natively as well as within the Service Oriented Architectures (SOA's)
environments. Edifecs XEngine's EDI standards support includes such healthcare EDI standards as HIPAA X12, NCPDP, HL7,
NSF, UB92, flat file formats, and XML based formats like XML Schema (XSD).
Edifecs XEngine creates operational interoperability with trading partners by validating healthcare and general

By having real-time checks and filters on the data entering an enterprise, organizations are assured that
back-end applications and data warehouses contain accurate transaction data.

“Our commitment to enabling interoperability between trading partners is a core differentiator to us,
and we are very gratified that NHBC has selected us in this process.
