Title: RE: [ebxml-dev] RE: [EDI-L] Article on ebXML Core Components ...

This is a really good discussion on ROI and SMEs, I just have to throw in some personal perspectives.

I don't want to make any specific conclusions, but I think the successes (and/or failures) of the MAP project (in the automotive industry) can provide some relevant "lessons learned" in the discussions around SMEs and ROI. For those members on this list server who were involved with that project, I would be interested in your impression of how the ROI stated in that report ($71 cost savings per car for OEMs) translated into IT changes in the lower-tier suppliers.
