Interoperability Framework (SIF®) solutions, today announced that the Towards SIF AU project, an
initiative to develop and promote the SIF technology standard in Australia, has successfully
completed an initial SIF Proof of Concept (POC) using key technology components and technical
expertise from Edustructures. The first successful transmission occurred on December 23, 2008,

The central messaging component of the POC is the SIFWorks® Zone Integration Server (ZIS) Enterprise Edition from Edustructures, which successfully coordinated traffic flow between two SIF agents. The first SIF agent was built using Edustructures’ SIFWorks Agent Development Kit® (ADK®).
