To ensure the security and interoperability of components within the (((eTicket Deutschland system, VDV eTicket Service, in cooperation with the testing lab CTC advanced GmbH, offers a certification process. AMCON submitted its UFHO system for evaluation. “AMCON’s backend system successfully passed certification process 1.9.0 in all areas. We are especially pleased that AMCON applied for all relevant use case packages, making it the first provider to achieve full-scope certification,” says Bernd Pieper, Head of Standardization and Certification at VDV eTicket Service. The certification focuses on interface transactions defined for various business processes between different (((eTicket systems. With this certification, VDV eTicket Service confirms that AMCON’s backend system is fully compatible with all (((eTicketing processes in Germany.
Advantages of certified system components
For transport companies and associations that wish to participate in (((eTicket Deutschland), the use of certified system components is mandatory. For component manufacturers, the certificate serves as proof that all required functions have been implemented in accordance with the specifications. The certification is intended to ensure functional and investment security, shorten implementation times, and guarantee compatibility even when switching products between different vendors. As part of the certification, AMCON’s backend system underwent a standardized testing procedure to verify its suitability for error-free use of the VDV core application. “We’re glad we went through the entire process rather than only focusing on individual procedures. This certification demonstrates the high quality of our software — and it’s not just us who benefit from it, but above all our customers,” says Olaf Clausen, Managing Director of AMCON GmbH.
