Oshyn will implement XML based standards such as Microsoft .NET, Web services, AS1/AS2 EDI over the internet standards, ebXML messaging and others for many small to midsize logistics organizations to reduce the time and costs required to deliver complex technology engagements -- from the integration of existing enterprise systems to the implementation of new data communication standards for integration with business partners.

LONG BEACH, CA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) - September 19, 2002 - Oshyn, Inc., a privately held technology and e-commerce consultancy, today announced a new service offering for its clients utilizing new B2B communications technology products. Oshyn will implement XML based standards such as Microsoft .NET, Web services, AS1/AS2 EDI over the internet standards, ebXML messaging and others for many small to midsize logistics organizations to reduce the time and costs required to deliver complex technology engagements -- from the integration of existing enterprise systems to the implementation of new data communication standards for integration with business partners.

Many small to midsize logistics providers simply could not allocate the budgets required to implement B2B communications for integration of existing systems architectures into e-commerce capacities," said Willem DeVries, Chief Operating Officer of Oshyn. The fact that Oshyn now offers this service to this segment of the industry, means that even companies with budgets in the $50K to $200K range can now take advantage of the reliability and scalability of the new standards as well as the cost savings associated with EDI/XML over the internet".

Using the new products and standards, Oshyn can now offer the successful delivery of integration solutions that generate great business value for clients as well as offer replacement of traditional B2B communications methods such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP)", said Diego Rebosio, Oshyns Chief Executive/Technology Officer. The suite of platform technologies available and Oshyns experienced technical resources are a perfect combination to build and implement XML based internet communications and applications".

The logistics industry deals with huge amounts of data exchanges each day, with thousands of electronic shipping documents, alerts and notifications sent and received each day" said Vince Salvo, Vice President of Carmichael International Services who plans to use Oshyn for its internet based B2B communications services initiatives. The potential of replacing even portions of these communications channels with internet provided, automated communications services will provide tremendous cost savings for everyone in the industry as well as make the exchange of data more reliable and easier to administer".
