Resources and News
I have updated the website to include: http://oaklandsoftware.com featuring Oakland Software’s Eclipse IDE Mapping and Translation system. See the ECGridOS in action page.
Oakland Software’s EDInow (mapping, translation, and ECGridOS EDI network management) is based on the proven Eclipse IDE, and uses MuleSoft ESB for runtime translation. Oakland’s EDI now and it’s standalone mapper translator (called ODT), is the Future of power tools for data management. Need proof ? XpressScripts uses Oakland’s tools for mapping and translation.
If you are a smart person, then you will call up Francis Upton at Oakland software. If you are a Java shop, even if you use another desktop mapper for day to day, you have no idea what ODT can bring to your process. What you have been missing in the data management layer!!! If you need EDI network management built into tools environment, with the best mapping and translation, ask Francis for a demo of EDInow.
A personal opinion on the Loren Data Corp v. GXS VAN peering battle
Suit Rel 1
We are working on a set of class objects – canonical business documents that exist as native language document objects, XML serializations, and fixed, lightweight X12 based document sets. These sets will be great for mid range commerce, and will allow on-line E2.0 accounting and other REST API systems to interoperate with ECGridOS, eliminating the need for mapping and translation. Call once and done. Deliver anywhere.
We are also delivering in 2011 a As2 Certificate portal as part of the API. The service will allow a programmer or user (via a web form) to store and update certificates, look up partners and other metadata via ECGrid Directory services, and more, for a low yearly fee. The service is unbundled from the data communications API, so you can keep your old moldy VAN or whatever. We are always glad to help with wholesale EDI transit pricing at the best rates, the best professional NetOps support, all for the Service Provider only.
There is a new briefing for CTO’s and Product Managers Here
There is a new State of the API Briefing you can see at Scribd page Here
Functional Sample code been released by Todd. And, a new API monitor endpoint is also being defined, so you can watch your account sessions execute in real time. Very handy for those getting their feet wet, and great for debug.
As always, if you have requested developer login credentials and have either stalled, need help, or an API walk through, please let us help you get bootstrapped. We are here to help make your EDI feature set more compelling and transparent with the best EDI Communications API and Network. Period.

New ROUTING REQUESTS Procedures: (its an improvement, dudes, chill)
By the end of August we will have a new routing request process in place. You will have the choice of either using a new Web-Based UI or our ECGridOS API. In both cases, you will have immediate response to the status of your Routing Request, and 80% of the time it will be instantly confirmed. For those requests that require confirmation by the VAN or other assistance, they will be immediately escalated to NetOps for completion. The Web-Based UI will use the ECGridOS API on the back end, and source code will be published to assist developers in writing their own ECGridOS-aware applications. We will be providing several Webinars for training, which will be recorded for playback at any future date.
