Axway Provides B2B Automotive Solutions for Major Premium Automobile Joint Venture in China
Axway solutions track messages and increase supply chain efficiency through seamless communication
Frankfurt am Main, February 4, 2010 - Proving its global strategy and efficiencies within the supply chain,Axway is providing its Business-to-Business (B2B) Automotive Solutions to its Chinese partner, BMW Brilliance Automotive in Shenyang. Based upon Axway TradeSync Integration Manager (TSIM), Axway B2B Automotive Solutions provide end-to-end visibility and facilitate seamless communication between BMW Brilliance Automotive and its suppliers and shipping agents while ensuring the high standards in the automobile industry are met and that users can trace their electronic messages.
Axway increases supply chain efficiency by providing delivery instructions synchronized with production (known as SPAB). SPAB is transferred to the Just-In-Sequence System (JIS) suppliersvia the OFTP-TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and tightly integrates them with the production process. To guarantee deliveries can be quickly and reliably traced, carriers send EDIFACT IFTSTA D.99B messages to BMW Brilliance Automotive. The Web-based communication protocol AS2 and email are used to communicate with carriers. Because TSIM flexibly handles different communication protocols, several methods of communication, including OFTP, AS2 and email, are used in parallel.
SAP Application Link Enabling (ALE) Technology is used to seamlessly integrate Axway TSIM with BMW Brilliance Automotive's application environment. The solution is SAP® certified, providing sound integration. Additional SAP® certifications exist for other TSIM components such as SAP® NetWeaver ALE Integration Base for TSIM 3 and Automotive Business Content.
"The relationship with BMW Brilliance Automotive in China underscores the international capabilities and solutions Axway offers to customers who need to easily communicate and facilitate the transfer of information to diverse markets," said Dave Bennett, chief technology officer, Axway. “This is a prime example of how Axway helps enable global Business Interaction Networks to dramatically improve their competitive advantage."

Axway and Anakam Partner to Accelerate Compliance with HITECH Regulation for Electronic Health Records Exchange
Partnership Creates Comprehensive Security and Identity Management Offering for Superior Patient Care, Health Record Privacy and Provider Efficiency
WASHINGTON - Feb. 3, 2010 - Axway, the Business Interaction Networks company, today announced a partnership with Anakam to provide a security and identity management offering for secure access and transmission of electronic health records (EHR) and personal health records (PHR). This offering enables health information exchanges, payors, and providers to easily comply with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act’s provisions for protecting electronic patient data at rest and in motion.
The HITECH Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, provides incentives for adoption through 2014 and requires physicians to adopt EHR by 2015 or face Medicare fee reductions. In December 2009, the Center for Disease Control estimated that only 6.3 percent of office-based physicians use a fully functional electronic health record system. In the commercial healthcare marketplace and federal, state, and local governments, the transition to electronic medical records now has both the policy direction and technological capability to accelerate significantly. By offering timely secure exchange of and access to patient data, healthcare entities will improve coordinated patient care between providers, prevent data breaches, improve quality of care and drive down costs.
"Patient healthcare data is often siloed between various healthcare organizations, placing a burden on privacy and coordinated patient care," said Taher Elgamal, chief security officer at Axway. "Through this partnership, healthcare entities will have a platform for trusted patient information storage, retrieval, transformation, and movement." The Axway/Anakam offering, which complies with appropriate National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), will enable data provisioning, secure access management for records, encryption of information in motion and end-to-end EHR visibility. Additionally, its open architecture will integrate with existing identity management and application infrastructures.
The offering consists of Axway’s Validation Authority™ (VA), Secure Messenger, SecureTransport™ and Sentinel products, integrated with Anakam’s TFA® Two Factor Authentication and Anakam.IDP® Identity Proofing Offerings. Together, these technologies deliver fully-integrated identity management and data security for previously disparate processes, such as encryption, digital signatures, and patient consent management.
"For healthcare providers using EHRs, the offering from Axway and Anakam will provide comprehensive trust, state-of-the-art security, consent and privacy between a patient and provider," said Bill Braithwaite, Anakam chief medical officer. "Our partnership provides massively scalable identity awareness with multi-factor authentication combined with the power of enterprise-class information movement, transformation, and security."

Axway Leads Global Identity Security Initiative to Minimize Fraud, Data Loss and ID Theft
Initiative Teams Axway with Thales/nCipher, Entrust and Quantum Secure to Support Global Identity Security Projects in Government and Enterprise
PHOENIX - Feb. 3, 2010 - Axway, the Business Interaction Networks company, has announced the creation of a strategic global initiative to address identity security and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) requirements of governments and enterprises. This initiative has been created in response to the building momentum for identity management initiatives throughout the world.
Through this initiative, Axway will partner with complementary solutions providers including Thales/nCipher, Entrust and Quantum Secure to address increasing global data security and access control requirements. The companies will deeper integrate and deliver components that include hardware security modules (HSMs), certificate authority, authentication, validation, device and credential management, physical and logical access integration and security consulting.
Identity management’s rapid growth is driven by the need to manage complex identity validation and security needs in sectors like defense, healthcare, finance and human services. Presently, technologies the initiative supports – like ID cards with embedded chips, mobile devices and biometrics – are used increasingly to minimize fraud, identity theft and data loss.
The non-exclusive initiative will be promoted to customers, common technology alliances, leading system integrators and security resellers globally. Over time, other like-minded solution vendors will join this ecosystem to drive integrated solutions and best practices for security initiatives within multiple delivery mechanisms, such as cloud computing. Initiative members will take these integration efforts, coupled with best practices from the joint deployments across all sectors, to provide new delivery options.
Axway will contribute both its proven leadership in Business Interaction Networks and policy-based IT governance along with its Validation Authority (VA) suite technology. Axway’s VA technology is uniquely positioned to provide validation and authorization solutions based on both Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP).
"We often create this type of initiative with other vendors to deliver complete solutions for specific projects, so formalizing this is the next logical step," says Alan Taylor, director for alliances, Axway. "This global security initiative marks an important step forward in addressing government challenges worldwide for security, credential and identity management. This initiative protects citizens and enterprises' critical data across all sectors, and provides a powerful business continuity and authorization framework."
These integrated solutions will ensure compliance with government mandates for physical and logical access, e-authentication and personal identity validation credentials.
Other solution providers in this security initiative include:
- Thales/nCipher, Integrated Security Solutions for Unrivalled Preparedness: http://www.thalesgroup.com/iss
- Entrust, Securing Digital Identities & Information: http://www.entrust.com
- Quantum Secure, the leading provider of enterprise software to manage and streamline security identities, compliance and events across disparate physical security systems: www.quantumsecure.com
"We are excited to partner with Axway on this important strategic initiative for identity management," added Laurie Aaron, vice president, government and alliances, Quantum Secure. "Quantum Secure has been a leading provider of enterprise and government software to manage and streamline security identities, compliance and events in real time across disparate physical security systems."

Axway Positioned in the "Leaders" Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
PHOENIX - 29 September 2009 - Axway, a leading provider of multi-enterprise solutions and infrastructure, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of its "Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer."*
In September 2008, Axway acquired Tumbleweed Communications, a Silicon Valley provider of managed file transfer, email security and identity validation solutions, merging two market leaders in managed file transfer (MFT). Given Axway's long-standing position in the MFT market, the merger cemented Axway's reputation as the undisputed leader in this market, with deep domain expertise and an extensive global customer base. As a combined company, Axway is the only provider in the market today to manage, run, secure, and monitor all of a company's multi-enterprise interactions - emails, files, messages, services, events and processes.
With its comprehensive ability to secure files as they are transported externally and internally, Axway's managed file transfer solutions allow companies to easily track, monitor and protect sensitive data and communications. As a result, customers can comply with regulatory mandates and protect their brands by reducing the risk of a data breach or other security issues. Axway MFT helps companies consolidate and optimize disparate data exchanges between trading partners, while providing data loss prevention, content filtering, encryption, compression and high-speed transmission. The solutions are available in a variety of delivery models, including on-premise software and on-demand services.
The "Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer," authored by L. Frank Kenney, states, "Companies' needs for MFT have evolved into more-holistic requirements that include the ability to provide a set of services that enable various governance processes and policies related to the management, coordination and trust of the file transfer."
"As the 'digital generation' reaches the business world, the demand for ad hoc processes and sharing of files is growing exponentially," said Dave Bennett, chief technology officer, Axway. "We believe our position in Gartner's MFT Magic Quadrant clearly demonstrates that organizations can depend on Axway as their MFT partner. Our solutions give organizations the agility to manage the immense growth in file services, the security to prevent damaging data breaches, and the visibility into critical information exchanges."
