eDelivery provides everything you need to set up a message exchange solution that conforms to OASIS's AS4 profile and the eIDAS Regulation's security requirements. You can start implementing eDelivery by gathering business needs and translating them into requirements. We offer workshops and a self-assessment tool to help you identify all of your needs and assess which parts of our offering can help you achieve your goals.

If you wish, you may pick a few potential solutions for a feasibility study to estimate the necessary investments, financial benefits and expected implementation timeframes for eDelivery versus an alternative solution. For this purpose, we provide a cost estimation tool. You can find alternative message exchange solutions for comparison in our market guide for AS4 conformant solutions and services.

You can develop your own application in house, buy a service or software from an external provider, or use existing software components to put together your message exchange solution. 

eDelivery offers sample software for Access Point, Service Metadata Locator (SML) and Service Metadata Publisher (SMP). Together these components provide the main functionalities to enable digital messaging, and their adoption is supported by our Service Desk. Consider benefits of going digital with eDelivery.

If you decided to develop your own software, you can use our technical specifications to ensure that development happens in line with the AS4 messaging protocol. If you chose to base your solution on eDelivery sample software, we offer training and support services. And if you chose to engage a solution provider, they will lead this process for you based on your requirements.

No matter what you decided, consider performing a Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate your solution before going full scale.

If you decided to use eDelivery sample software, we will help you write a Service Delivery Document (SDD). It is an overview of eDelivery that will help you set up and operate your solution.

In the deployment step, you or your software provider will configure the different components of your chosen solution. We provide training and deployment support if you are using any of eDelivery’s sample software components. Integrate your messaging application with backend systems.

Test your implementation by sending other network participants a message or use our connectivity testing service. If you developed your own application with our technical specifications, you can use also our conformance testing service to validate your implementation's compliance with the AS4 profile. We provide a testing platform, test cases and professional support during the entire testing process.

If you used our cost estimation tool, you should have a good understanding of eDelivery's expected operational costs. We offer optional managed services to take care of your Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Service Metadata Locator(SML).

Promote your solution and get participants to join your network. Each participant will be responsible for their own server and service availabilities.
