Bostech and Edifecs Sign Software Partner Agreement
Columbus OH and Bellevue WA (August 28, 2008)— Bostech, the leading provider of standards-based enterprise service bus (ESB) software and Edifecs, the Quality and Compliance CompanyTM, today announced a software partnership agreement.
The formalized partnership agreement establishes Bostech and Edifecs as software partners unified in solving business integration scenarios with clients in the Healthcare industry.
The deal brings together leading technology and implementation expertise from Bostech and Edifecs to serve a growing demand to better integrate healthcare information systems and applications. Bostech technology brings a standards-based enterprise service bus (ESB) into thousands of healthcare, retail and manufacturing-related corporations annually. The addition of Edifecs’ solutions for Healthcare transaction validation against HIPAA and other standards will complement Bostech’s middleware solution for Healthcare, ChainBuilder ESB, a key enabler supporting interoperability of systems across the Healthcare value chain.
Bostech and Edifecs products provide a powerful new combination of functionality to healthcare clients:
- HL7 and EDI X12 graphical messaging editor with drag-and-drop mapping
- HL7 and EDI X12 graphical messaging editor handles standard and variant schemas
- Specification authoring, editing and publication, with support for HIPAA, HL7 and NCPCP transaction standards, as well as many non-Healthcare standards, XML schema and Positional and Delimited Flat Files
- Deep format and content validation against any supported standard
- Web Services and tradition protocol support, including TCP/IP HL7 MLLP
- Splitting good transactions from invalid transactions
- Content-Based routing
Bostech’s strategic alliances are founded in pursuing partnerships with leading healthcare standard experts like Edifecs. “The Bostech development staff’s earliest solutions were created to solve healthcare integration issues,” begins David Bourke, CEO at Bostech. “Over the past 10 years we have developed and enhanced each integration solution, also making use of the latest software technologies. Approximately one year ago, our flagship product, ChainBuilder ESB, was redesigned from the ground up to be 100% Java and adheres the Java Business Integration (JBI) standard. As a result, ChainBuilder ESB is the culmination of years of integration experience and constant diligence providing the best integration software on the market today. Enhancing the offering with Edifecs’ established HIPAA transaction validation is a great value-proposition to our healthcare customers.”
Commenting on the agreement with Bostech, Sunny Singh, CEO of Edifecs, said: “The Bostech relationship further cements Edifecs position as the premier provider of standards-based adaptors for electronic transaction formats in the middleware market. Bostech’s deep roots in and capabilities for the Healthcare market make the partnership a natural fit for both companies to meet customer needs today, and in the future, as new standards and regulations are mandated.”
