NIIS releases Harmony eDelivery Access for data exchange between organisations within the EU
Harmony eDelivery Access from the developers of the world-renowned X-Road® is a free and actively maintained open-source component for joining eDelivery policy domains.
eDelivery is one of the building blocks of the European Commission (EC) Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) that enables the exchange of data between networked organisations in an interoperable, reliable and secure manner.
Harmony eDelivery Access is based on the European Commission’s sample implementations of the eDelivery AS4 access point and SMP components. On top of their existing features, the first release of Harmony eDelivery Access provides automated installation, upgrade and configuration process with additional documentation. The security of Harmony eDelivery Access is assured by a third-party security assessment.
”Even if Harmony eDelivery Access is a new product, it’s based on existing open-source products enhanced with the best practices learned over years of X-Road development and maintenance”, explains Ville Sirviö, CEO of NIIS.
Harmony eDelivery Access can be used in both existing and new eDelivery implementations by organisations acting as service consumers, producers, or both. Also, Harmony eDelivery Access supports joining multiple eDelivery policy domains using a single Harmony instance.
New features will be added in future releases based on the requests and ideas coming from the Harmony eDelivery Access users.
”All the existing and new eDelivery users are welcome to try Harmony and see whether it could be a good fit for them”, Sirviö says.
Harmony eDelivery access website is launched and the source code is released on 17 December 2021: https://edelivery.digital
