Software AG, Inc. and PureEdge Solutions, Inc. announced a joint marketing and sales campaign of their complementary XML products. Together the company’s products enable commercial and government organizations to more quickly and easily move important documents and transactions online. PureEdge Internet Commerce System allows users to design, deploy, complete, and digitally sign intelligent and enforceable XML documents. In an enforceable transaction, all components of an e-document are saved as a complete object – complete with layout, logic, content – using XFDL technology to ensure no component of the final document can be modified. Because both products are native XML, complete solutions for creating, processing, and archiving enforceable documents are easy to build, maintain, and integrate with other XML applications. www.pureedge.com/products/ics/index.htm, www.softwareagusa.com
