EPCglobal Software Certification Mark Awarded to Axway's Synchrony ePedigree

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - EPCglobal Inc™ has awarded its software certification mark to Axway for its Synchrony ePedigree solution. EPCglobal Inc is the not-for-profit standards organization dedicated to driving global adoption of the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) for supply chain excellence. The certification mark was awarded at the GS1 US U Connect Conference 2007 today.

The certification mark ensures that software products have been tested and will work in predictable ways within the overall architecture of the EPC Network. The mark is awarded by the EPCglobal Software Certification Program, a standards-based compliance testing program that provides a neutral and authoritative source for testing EPC/RFID software and providing information regarding certified products and the vendors who manufacture them.

"We're honored that Axway has received this mark of prestige from EPCglobal," said Paul Fowler, Axway's vice president of healthcare strategies. "We collaborated with our customers to develop a practical solution for the healthcare industry and have dedicated our focus at Axway to advancing the industry."

"By choosing software with an EPCglobal Software Compliance Certification Mark, the end-user can be confident that the software will perform according to defined EPCglobal standards," said Chris Adcock, president of EPCglobal Inc. "With this information readily available, they will have more time to focus their resources on completing pilots and capturing information."

To receive the software certification mark, Synchrony ePedigree had to pass rigorous testing conducted by MET Laboratories, a third-party, nationally-recognized testing facility located in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States. The mark is a stylized form of the EPCglobal logo and includes an 18-digit Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) that is globally unique to that specific software product.
