ATLANTA & DETROIT -- Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business integration solutions, today announced that more than 2,500 customers in the automotive industry rely on Inovis' vertical-specific solutions to drive supply chain and e-business efficiencies. The cornerstone of Inovis' offerings for automotive companies include support for Electronic Business XML (ebXML), an open e-business standard gaining increased adoption in the automotive industry, as well as specialized compliance kits tailored to support the proprietary standards that many automotive manufacturers require.

Inovis is demonstrating its suite of business commerce automation solutions tailored for the automotive industry this week, Aug. 31-Sept. 2, at Auto-Tech, a gathering of the premier OEM, supplier and vendor companies dedicated to achieving business success through collaboration.

"Maintaining a robust and comprehensive business commerce infrastructure is essential in order to conduct business electronically and remain competitive as a supplier to Visteon & Ford," said Scott McCullough, director of information technology, Michigan Spring & Stamping Company. "Inovis enables us to cost-effectively leverage current investments in e-business communications and connectivity, while supporting the wide range of emerging standards and technologies necessary to keep pace with the evolving requirements of our trading partner network."

The automotive industry has made significant strides streamlining business-to-business communications to simplify operations and drive down costs across the automotive supply chain. Major automotive manufacturers like Honda and DaimlerChrysler have developed their own Internet-based proprietary data formats for e-business documents, replacing or coexisting with traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards for data transformation and value-added networks (VANs) for connectivity. Open e-business standards like ebXML are gaining acceptance through the backing of industry leaders like General Motors.
