During 2005, a leading EDI Service Provider became a MXC Service Provider. They installed a significant MXC infrastucture as their strategic platform for their IP based B2Bi Messaging service. It has a very large messaging capacity. One of its early uses is to transition their many existing customers from their VAN to an IP based service.

The key benefits for the EDI service provider are they can:

• Provide a wide range of messaging capability to their clients
• Leverage this capability to offer new IP-based products and services
• Efficiently transition customers to the MXC platform
• Address the SME market with a lower entry point cost due to the much reduced enablement effort of MXC
• Create new revenue streams by licensing the MXC web-based development interface to customers
• Create consulting revenues for helping customers transition to IP based services
• Form partner relationships with other service providers and deliver services to their customers
• Trading partners can be connected and trading within hours for typical messaging requirements, while customised implementations requiring analysis, mapping and testing may only involve a few days
