What is the difference between SIF Certified and SIF compliant?
A. SIF Certified is the designation awarded by the SIFA organization that signifies that software so certified meets the requirements to work with all other SIF Certified software. It is your guarantee that you are getting what you are paying for. On the other hand, there is no official SIF compliance. That is a term that was invented to cover the case where a piece of software has built a SIF agent but has not gone through the official process of having it Certified. Only SIF Certified software is assured of working with other SIF Certified software, which is the reason you want SIF in the first place.
