IPNet Solutions Inc.announced that IPNet.Suite 3.0 will mark the first step of IPNet’s XML technology. XML support in IPNet.Suite will include: XML-based data import and export for all IPNet products; automated translation between XML and traditional business formats; support for leading ISV XML DTDs; and, automated HTML/HTTP Web translation from XML to HTML and other user-presentation formats. IPNet Suite 3.0 will support XML for data import and export functions with all IPNet.Suite products, including IP.web.link, IP.customer.link, IP.edi.link and IP.trade.link. XML data elements will be based on existing ANSI X12 standards, thereby leveraging the vast array of standard business terms and codes already used by EDI and related technologies. The 3.0 release will also support automated identification, scheduling, and transmission of XML documents between trading partners with configurable, granular management and tracking. IPNet Solutions will support many leading ISV DTDs as specifications are published, but chose to use the ANSI X.12 elements to define the structure of its business transaction DTDs. The elements used in ANSI X.12 are supported today by over 90 percent of the Fortune 1000 and over 175,000 businesses. www.ipnet-solutions.com.
