Drummond Certified(TM) Program Announces Six Software Products Certified for Global ebXML Interoperability

AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--Drummond Group Inc. (DGI), the leading B2B interoperability
certification company, today announced that six software products from
six companies successfully completed the Drummond Certified(TM)
program's ebMS (ebXML Message Service)-4Q07 interoperability testing.

   Companies demonstrating interoperability among their products in
the ebMS-4Q07 test round included Axway, Cleo Communications, Generix
Group, IBM, Inovis, and TIBCO Software Inc.

   ebMS is the messaging layer of the ebXML framework. This test
included a new optional test that validated using the DSA with SHA-1
algorithm for digitally signing ebMS messages over both HTTP and
HTTPS. In previous testing rounds only the RSA with SHA1 algorithm had
been tested. ebMS continues to grow in global adoption and current
industries include automotive, financial services, government and
healthcare.

   "Certified interoperability means that these leading edge products
have been stringently tested and as a group have successfully
performed all test cases without error. Why is this important to the
buyer? Certified interoperable software saves time, money and
frustration of getting commercial software products working over the
internet with other products out of the box," said Rik Drummond, DGI's
chief executive officer. "I congratulate each company on their hard
work and commitment to testing with their competitors to better serve
their customers with interoperable software."
