Amcom Software Receives Department of Defense
Security Approval
- Amcom Communications Suite Passes Rigorous DoD Tests
- High Level Security and Interoperability Approval Proves the Amcom Suite Has Unmatched Reliability and Security Capabilities
MINNEAPOLIS – September 3, 2008 – Amcom Software announced today they have successfully received approval from the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) of the U.S. Department of Defense for their communications software suite. By achieving JITC approval, Amcom's Smart Center, Smart Console, Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI), Smart Web, Smart Speech and e.Notify applications have been shown to provide the highest levels of Information Assurance (IA) security as required by the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military.
"This is great news for Amcom and for all our customers," said Greg Stinson, Amcom Vice President of Development. "No other provider can match our extensive range of applications with government-approved security and interoperability. Our product suite has been field proven and subject to all evolving government requirements since 1999 and has been re-certified as required under the government's product lifecycle program since then. Customers in the DoD and at the highest levels of the U.S. government know they can trust our communications product suite to work with a very high level of reliability and security. That's good news for any organization concerned with information security or the ability to communicate across platforms, geographies or technologies."
To qualify for JITC and IA approval, Amcom Software completed rigorous federal government testing and compliance processes under real-life conditions. According to JITC, their system tests national security and IT systems to show they have the ability to provide and accept data, information, materials and services; including both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchange. JITC serves the Defense Information Systems Agency, combatant commands, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, allies, coalition partners and commercial vendors.
"We're thrilled to have again achieved this high level approval." said Chris Heim, Amcom CEO. "We view JITC and IA approval as a key way to prove our capabilities to all our customers, both inside and outside the government. We use the same disciplined approach in all our development efforts and we believe our customers appreciate that Amcom solutions can perform at the highest levels of security and interoperability."
