Simplified, Secure and Reliable Connectivity from E2open Increases Supply Chain Visibility and Collaboration with Trading Partners

Foster City, Calif., December 15, 2010 – E2open, the leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, today announced that the company has completed the AS2-3Q10 Drummond Certified™ Interoperability testing for the E2open B2B Integration v7.2 solution. Drummond Group Inc., the trusted interoperability test lab, named E2open’s solution as one of 21 newly certified AS2-3Q10 products. AS2, one of the most widely recognized messaging standards for B2B e-commerce – widely adopted among the world’s major retailers and manufacturers – enables users to connect, deliver and reply to data securely and reliably, thereby delivering cost savings and providing flexibility and control on how data is utilized.

Today’s leading companies increasingly rely on business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions to ensure real-time collaboration across the extended demand-supply networks and to connect electronically to their trading partners. This often presents significant business challenges. However, with E2open’s B2B Integration solution, customers can easily outsource their B2B integration needs to an experienced organization that has an established business process network of more than 50,000 trading partners. E2open’s solution lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhances overall return on investment (ROI) with a predictable cost model that includes the technical infrastructure, self-service capabilities, as well as the program management and onboarding methodology that today’s business-critical B2B programs require.

“Our customers – many of whom are global organizations – require, demand and deserve the latest innovations to manage their supply chains. Ensuring secure, open communications, increasing flexibility and doing so with a cost savings, is key to delivering on that promise,” said Karthik Srinivasan, Chief Technology Officer at E2open. “E2open is dedicated to maintaining its superior interoperability and is proud to have earned the Drummond Certified™ seal to signify that we are committed to putting the flexibility and control of managing supply chain data back into the hands of our customers.”
