Retarus is the new Ford Certified VAN Provider in Europe
Ford restructures EDI Processes

MUNICH, October 15, 2009 -- Ford will implement significant changes for its EDI processes at the end of this year. As of January 1, 2010, clients and suppliers must establish EDI connections with Ford either via OFTP on their own or through a Ford Certified VAN Provider. Effective immediately, Retarus is one of only five companies throughout Europe that received the Certified VAN Provider certification from Ford.

 

 

The BT EDI*Net, which is currently used by Ford for electronic data exchange, will be deactivated as of 12/31/2009. The X.400 Protocol used until now will no longer be supported and all suppliers must rely on OFTP for EDI connections in the future. OFTP connections may either be established directly using the corresponding software or via a Ford Certified VAN Provider. When connecting through a Certified VAN Provider, suppliers will be able to maintain their established X.400 connections to Ford, eliminating the need for cost-intensive system upgrades. Retarus is one of only five certified companies in Europe and the sole Ford Certified VAN Provider for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
