securely and reliably
Recent news
What is eDelivery?
eDelivery provides technical specifications and standards, installable software and ancillary services to allow projects to create a network of nodes for secure digital data exchange. By building with eDelivery, public and private organisations from different sectors can easily create a safe and interoperable channel to transfer documents and data among each other over a public or private network.
Interoperability
eDelivery enables the exchange of documents and data among heterogeneous information systems using a standardized protocol, thereby laying the foundation for cross-domain and cross-project interoperability.
Scalability and performance
eDelivery solutions ensure sustainable levels of performance and maintainability even as the number of participants and/or messages in a network grows.
Security and accountability
eDelivery ensures data integrity and confidentiality in every transmission through the use of digital signatures and encryption. eDelivery also guarantees legal assurance and accountability by mandating that the recipient of a message must send a digitally signed acknowledgement of receipt for every message received.
Vendor and platform agnostic
Because this is a vendor and platform neutral solution, its specifications are not proprietary or controlled by one vendor alone. Also, eDelivery is available in multiple products and solutions from different vendors you can choose from.
Flexible and configurable
eDelivery supports multiple types of data exchanges and is easy to adjust to each organisation’s needs, since it can be configured using parameters and doesn’t solely rely on programming.
