EPCglobal Software Certification Program for Drug Pedigree Launched at U Connect 2007 Conference



EPCglobal Inc, the not-for-profit standards organization dedicated to driving global adoption of the Electronic Product Code (EPC) for supply chain excellence, today announced the first companies to earn software certification for EPC/RFID products for conformance with the EPCglobal Drug Pedigree standard. Three companies were awarded the EPCglobal Software Certification Mark.

Company Name - Product

Axway, Inc. - Synchrony ePedigree

rfXcel Corporation - rfXcel Active ePedigree Management

SupplyScape Corporation - SupplyScape E-Pedigree

By providing end users with access to reliable information regarding certified products, the certification program helps facilitate and accelerate the start-up phase of EPC/RFID implementations. Now users can focus their resources on completing pilots and capturing information in real business situations rather than on evaluating software components.

Choosing the right EPC/RFID software for your business can be a challenging process, with many factors to consider, said Chris Adcock, president, EPCglobal Inc. The EPCglobal Software Certification Program provides companies with the confidence that the software they implement will work in predictable ways as defined by EPCglobal standards. The program protects the company'ss investment and helps them implement EPC/RFID programs easier, faster, and for less cost.

The certification marks were earned under the EPCglobal Software Certification Program, a standards-based compliance testing program that provides a neutral and authoritative source for testing software to comply with EPCglobal standards and providing information regarding certified products and the vendors who manufacture them. Compliance testing was conducted by MET Labs, a third party, vendor-neutral lab, in Baltimore, Maryland.
