Edict Systems and iSoft Form an Alliance to Deliver Large Companies the Long Promised 100% e-Business Connected Trading Community


DAYTON, Ohio and ADDISON, Texas, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Edict Systems, Inc., a wholly owned and sole operating subsidiary of Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC - News) and a leading provider of Business- to-Business Trading Community Solutions today announced it has formed an Alliance with iSoft Corporation, a leading provider of business community connectivity solutions. The companies plan to jointly market and deliver larger companies heavily invested in previous e-Business initiatives, such as EDI, with the long promised solutions to easily and cost-effectively transact with 100% of their trading community.

Under the terms of the Alliance, Edict Systems will market the iSoft Commerce Suite product family to its customers and their trading communities. Edict Systems will also integrate iSoft Commerce Suite into EnterpriseEC® an Electronic Trading Network (ETN) that provides customers with a web-based interface to track and manage trading communities and transactions. Edict Systems customers now have the ability to purchase certified peer-to-peer software supporting standards such as EDI-INT AS2 directly from Edict Systems to support mandates by leading retailers and other large buying organizations, and with the same software, connect to EnterpriseEC® for connections to other trading partners who do not yet support peer-to-peer connectivity. EnterpriseEC® is also suitable for low volume trading partners who desire a managed connectivity solution.

iSoft will market Edict Systems solutions to their customers who have acquired the iSoft Commerce Suite for connectivity solutions who also require additional services to connect, integrate, manage, and expand their trading partner relationships. These services are targeted at companies who want to maximize the value of their e-Business initiatives by conducting electronic commerce with more of their trading partners. A key element of this Alliance will be Edict Systems providing iSoft customers with Trading Community Ramping services to assess each targeted trading partner's e-Business readiness and offer them an appropriate cost-effective solution to their individual needs.

"iSoft is the recognized performance leader in secure, reliable communication infrastructure for the enterprise by leveraging the Internet communications standards, stated Kevin Johnson, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Edict Systems. "We found iSoft Commerce Suite to be the most scaleable and robust enterprise gateway for larger companies and chose it as our gateway engine within EnterpriseEC® to deliver our solutions that integrate, manage, and expand trading communities. Our combination of capabilities further positions both of us to provide end-to-end solutions for our customers and their trading partners regardless of their size, technical capabilities, or internal resources."

"Edict Systems is a proven leader in expanding trading communities for larger companies with their trading community ramping services and Web EDI solutions to enable the previously paper-based supplier transactions," added Mike Tomnitz, Vice President of Alliances for iSoft. "We are pleased to assist our customers with making connections to 100% of their trading community using our iSoft Commerce Suite as the enterprise gateway and Edict Systems capabilities to expand the connections to all trading partners."
