OFTP2

Due to the closing of X.25 and ISDN Volvo Group has decided to migrate all EDI partners using OFTP over X.25 and ISDN to OFTP2 over TCP/IP. The using of OFTP2 will also reduce cost and increase performance, especially for CAD files. Volvo IT will discontinue supporting X.25 and ISDN by the end of 2010.

AB Volvo will implement session level encryption by using Transport Layer Security (TLS). The TLS provides data confidentiality by encryption of all protocol commands and data exchanged between Volvo Group and our partners. This will provide enough security, preventing a third party from extracting any useful information from the transmission.


Technical requirements for EDI Partner
