SunTec (Xelerate) Business Solutions DMCC today announced the successful completion of the Peppol G3 migration and certification process, strengthening its readiness to support the UAE’s upcoming Peppol-based e-invoicing framework, while enabling secure and interoperable digital document exchange globally.
SunTec completed all required conformance testing and migration validation and has been officially issued the G3 Production PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificates for both its Access Point (AP) and Service Metadata Publisher (SMP).
The Peppol G3 certification in the UAE involves adopting the new third-generation PKI framework, which is mandatory for Access Points and Service Providers supporting the country’s upcoming e-invoicing mandate. Migration must be completed by April 1, 2026, to ensure secure and uninterrupted document exchange.
This milestone confirms that the SunTec Xelerate Access Point (XAP) is fully compliant with the latest Peppol security standards and aligned with the network’s next-generation framework for secure, trusted, and interoperable document exchange.
Clinton Abbott, Head of Product Management at SunTec said, “The successful completion of the Peppol G3 migration marks an important milestone in our e-invoicing journey. As regulatory frameworks evolve, interoperability and security are becoming foundational to digital trade ecosystems. With G3 certification, SunTec Xelerate is fully aligned with the next-generation Peppol framework, enabling our customers to participate in a highly secure, standardized, and interoperable network for seamless document exchange across borders. This positions us strongly to support the emerging mandates in the UAE.”
The G3 migration involved rigorous validation processes, including:
? Interoperability and security conformance testing under the G3 framework
? Verification of AS4-based message exchanges using the new certificate trust chain
? End-to-end validation of encryption, digital signatures, and message integrity
? Formal approval and issuance of G3 Production PKI certificates by the Peppol Authority
With this certification, SunTec Xelerate enhances its ability to enable seamless interoperability between trading partners, ensuring consistent, secure, and standardized communication across global e-invoicing networks.
The product now offers:
? Full compliance with the Peppol G3 PKI security framework
? Readiness for secure AS4-based messaging across the global Peppol network
? Enhanced interoperability to support cross-border invoice exchange
? Alignment with upcoming e-invoicing mandates across the Middle East and Europe
The G3 migration strategically positions SunTec to support evolving regulatory requirements, including the upcoming UAE e-invoicing mandate, while enabling scalable cross-border e-invoicing adoption. It further strengthens trust, security, and interoperability in digital document exchange, ensuring uninterrupted participation in the global Peppol ecosystem.
