Operations Headaches

Accordare's Reflector does just that:

The Reflector is a collaborative XML testing and monitoring intermediary between trading partners. It is used to establish, validate, test, monitor and manage the connection and business-to-business transactions between trading partners.

How do we create Agreement?

We put transparency in the message flow

So both sides can see what's passing through
Add a "copier"

So each side can be independent

And add an "auditor with a mirror"

So there's neutral judgment on success or failure, and the ability to re-try

Then make it all accessible to trading partners for inspection, testing, monitoring and management of XML-based trades.

"What we need, is a capability… for our vendors to first test against a base standard XML definition, - then, to be able to test against the private extensions we've agreed on, - then we need to test round-trip transactions between ourselves and our vendors in a secure network. This product seems to fit our need."

-John Wunder, Chief Architect USAF Global Combat Support Systems Integration Project, The Lockheed-Martin Company

"This is the best technology we've found for this purpose."
