EDI*Net customers


ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
nuBridges, the secure eBusiness authority, announced today that it is inviting
British Telecommunications plc (BT) customers to join its Electronic Data
Interchange Value Added Network (EDI VAN) gateway, nuBridges Exchange Network.
The invitation comes in the wake of a recent BT announcement to its customers
that, effective February 24, 2010, the company will close its EDI*Net service. 

BT EDI*Net and nuBridges Exchange Network are related through joint roots,
technology and cooperative agreements, making it very easy for BT EDI*Net
customers to move their EDI transactions to nuBridges. 

Both BT EDI*Net and nuBridges Exchange Network share the same EDI*Net technology
foundation, originally established in 1983; BT via a 1989 acquisition from
McDonnell Douglas and nuBridges via a 2004 acquisition from Verizon. nuBridges
and BT have collaborated since 2004 - nuBridges Exchange Network has served as
the gateway to U.S. companies for BT EDI*Net customers. As a result of this
transparent connection, many BT EDI*Net customers already use nuBridges Exchange
Network for transactions with U.S. companies. 

Since acquiring the North American EDI*Net business in 2004, nuBridges has
expanded its geographic focus to the U.K. and Europe, and has enhanced the
network`s capabilities continuously. As importantly, nuBridges provides
high-touch customer service - a valuable distinguishing characteristic in
today`s marketplace. When nuBridges Exchange Network customers call,
knowledgeable support representatives answer the phone to address customers`
questions. nuBridges specializes in EDI VAN migrations; dedicated migration
analysts step customers and their trading partners through the entire process,
making it fast and easy. 

"We strongly encourage BT EDI*Net customers to secure a backup provider early,
and we believe that nuBridges is the best and most logical choice to ensure a
smooth transition of these vital business services," said Paul L.H. Olson, CEO
of nuBridges. "We share a common core network heritage with the BT EDI*Net
network, and have continued to improve and enhance the capabilities of this
value added network over the years." 

nuBridges is a leading provider of EDI VAN services globally. nuBridges Exchange
Network handles more than $900 billion in EDI transactions annually and is the
only EDI VAN that requires 100 percent secure connections. Hundreds of U.K. and
EU companies use nuBridges Exchange Network today to securely deliver business
documents. nuBridges Exchange Network averages a 12-month rolling network uptime
of 99.9986 percent and maintains redundant premium data centers for disaster

"We invite BT EDI*Net customers to contact us today to find out how easy the
transition to the global nuBridges Exchange Network will be," added Olson. "We
are confident that we have the right technology, the right services and the
right pricing to make it easy for BT EDI*Net customers to continue business
operations without disruption, and to end up with even better service and
value."
