Axway Announces Global Alliance With Entrust to Extend Secure Data Solutions
Axway Joins Entrust TrustedPartner Program as a Technology Partner
10 Feb 2004
Sydney, Australia - Axway, the leading European-based worldwide provider of Integration Broker Solutions, and wholly owned subsidiary of Sopra Group, today announced a collaborative relationship with Entrust, Inc.[NASDAQ: ENTU], a world leader in securing digital identities and information, by joining the Entrust TrustedPartner Program as a Technology Partner.
As a Technology Partner, Axway is taking a vital step in order for additional products and solutions to achieve Entrust Ready™ status. The Entrust Ready designation is awarded by Entrust and refers to products and services that have been reviewed for compatibility and interoperability with Entrust® products. Under the TrustedPartner program, Entrust will make available its software as well as provide integration guidance in order to help a Technology Partner's offering fulfill the Entrust Ready requirements.
"Axway has been working with Entrust on integration projects since the 'Nineties. Today's announcement is confirming the inherent value of the relationship for our customers," said Michel Clerin, vice president, Marketing, Axway. "Modern file exchange remains a valid entry point of many integration projects, offering instant value and low complexity. However, in the business-to-business context of a file portal, the confidentiality concern often is a gatekeeper. Axway and Entrust customers can now secure exchanges with the outside world, in both directions."
"The Entrust TrustedPartners Program reflects the need to engage global market opportunities through alliances that leverage leading solutions and services to provide extended value for potential and existing customers," said Eric Skinner, vice president, Secure Data Solutions, Entrust, Inc. "We look forward to further developing this relationship with Axway to provide industry leading Internet security solutions to enterprises, financial institutions and governments."
