NORCROSS, GA / LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. January 26, 2005 - The Uniform Code Council, Inc.® (UCC®), leaders in facilitating efficient international business, announced today that its UCC Solution Partner, Internet Commerce Corporation (ICC), has certified ICC.NET™ as UCC-compliant for UCCnet™ Data Pool Services subscribers.
The UCC Solution Partner Program™ increases awareness, adoption, and implementation of UCC standards by facilitating a partnership between the UCC and solution providers to produce standards-compliant, “off-the-shelf” implementation solutions for the expanding UCC community. Companies who use products and services certified to UCC standards will be able to minimize implementation costs and maximize supply chain cost-savings. In order to achieve UCCnet Synchronization Suite certification a solution provider must offer a complete suite of software and services for data synchronization that includes not only the necessary applications, but also the support and consulting services a company may need to efficiently and cost-effectively utilize UCCnet Data Pool Services.
“Our certification assures our customers that they are implementing proven cost-saving business practices and industry standards,” said Thomas J. Stallings, ICC Chief Executive Officer. “ICC.NET™ enables companies to implement UCCnet Data Pool Services while avoiding unnecessary costs or delays in achieving a return on their investment.”
ICC’s professional consulting, expert mapping services and value added network capabilities provides customers with a full suite of offerings to rapidly implement cost-effective data synchronization solutions.
The UCC Solution Partner Program team works with Partners to certify that their products and services are standards-compliant and meet the needs of the business community. The program works with the best-in-class certification agents to offer an independent test environment for certifying solutions for a variety of user-company standards-compliant implementation tasks. All software solutions for UCCnet Data Pool Services are tested and certified through eBusinessReady®. The UCC Solution Partner Program promotes certified hardware products, consultants for implementation services, and software solutions in the program areas of The EAN•UCC System for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) and e-Commerce, and UCCnet Data Pool Services.
