"As enterprises (our customers) become more dependent upon B2B integration software (WebSphere Partner Gateway, in our case) to seamlessly interoperate with their trading partners in order to complete business processes, it becomes imperative that our B2B integration software, based upon open public standards, reliably interoperate with other B2B integration software used by the trading partners of our customers. The interoperability testing and certification provided by Drummond Group independently assures us, and our customers, that our B2B integration software 1) complies with the applicable open public standards, and 2) reliably interoperates with other similar B2B integration software. We value the services provided by Drummond Group, and will continue to take advantage of them, consistent with our commitment to the implementation of open public standards as enablers of interoperability."

"By far, the biggest challenge of conducting electronic commerce is integrating partner applications. Standards do ease the process. However, demonstrating interoperability of various vendor applications in a lab test environment goes a long way in ironing out the integration kinks and thereby reducing the cost of ownership for the customer. Drummond Group Inc., as a neutral agency, is doing a great service to the vendor and user community by organizing the testing routines. Drummond Group has very clearly documented the process and conducted the tests in a professional manner."

"In April 2005, PIDX, the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange, the American Petroleum Institute's (API) committee on Electronic Business, adopted AS2 as an additional TRP (Transaction, Routing, Package) protocol within the PIDX Recommended Practice 3901 - PIDX XML Transaction Standards. PIDX developed these standards for use in oil and gas B2B e-commerce. After significant research, it was determined that AS2 represented a secure, low cost option for communications that would help lower the barrier to entry to e-commerce for small and medium businesses (SMB).
A significant factor in the acceptance of AS2 by PIDX and petroleum industry trading partners was the certified interoperability tested by Drummond Group. Knowing that DGI AS2 Interoperability Certified vendor products are compatible has removed a significant and costly barrier to e-commerce for SMBs. The potential lowered costs for entry, secure transport and multiple attachment handling are key functions provided by AS2 that fulfill the upstream oil and gas transaction requirements.
This has been evident in recent successful integrations completed by small oil and gas service companies. These companies are realizing the benefits, faster and more efficient business transactions through the Internet, streamlined invoicing and payment process and reduced costs and administrative resources."
