GXS Trading Grid is used by more than 35,000 companies around the world to achieve inter-enterprise integration and to improve the efficiency of cross- enterprise business processes such as purchasing, payments and logistics optimization. By adding to the base of certifications held by GXS Trading Grid, companies can be assured that GXS' software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based solutions will meet their company's needs and business goals. For example, after undergoing rigorous evaluation and testing, GXS Trading Grid renewed its SAP(R) Certified Integration status. The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that GXS Trading Grid properly integrates with the SAP ERP application Release 6.0. Companies seeking integration with SAP NetWeaver can be assured that GXS Trading Grid is fully interoperable with SAP NetWeaver and that common integration challenges have already been addressed and resolved. In addition, customers also are assured of the quality and ongoing compatibility of GXS' services.
"With GXS' SaaS-based solutions, the possibilities for B2B and supply chain integration are nearly endless. Companies are facing greater demands from customers, suppliers, logistics providers and regulatory bodies for seamless interoperability between diverse platforms through solutions that utilize standards, but maintain flexibility to meet business needs," said
SAS-70 Type II reviews, as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), begin with an audit to establish, report and provide assurance on a company's or service provider's operational controls and their effectiveness. Conducted by an independent auditor, a SAS 70 Type II audit provides a high level of assurance regarding GXS' security procedures and is a valuable tool for customers seeking to meet their own Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and in the growth of business process outsourcing and SaaS.
Similarly, Systrust certification is issued by the AICPA along with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). Systrust is an assurance service designed to evaluate and test whether a specific system is reliable when measured against four essential principles: availability, security, integrity and maintainability. At the completion of a SysTrust engagement, an opinion is rendered on whether effective controls are maintained and provide reasonable assurance that the SysTrust principles were achieved. GXS achieved Systrust certification on all four principles.
