Subject: RE: [ebxml-dev] RNIF vs ebXML


Hi

Actually there are activities toward adoption of various ebXML 
technologies, including ebMS, CPPA, BPSS, ..., in RosettaNet. Most of 
them are, however, investigation activities for the future (I may not be 
100% right -- I can't see everything).

Someone (I thought he was a founder of Intel) said that in order for 
some new technology to replace existing, already-adopted technology, it 
must be at least 10 times better.

If ebMS were obviously 10 times better than RNIF (not in price --- RNIF 
1.1 is a sunk-cost), RosettaNet trading partners would have already been 
pushing RNIF 3. That is not happening (yet). I understand ebMS will 
achieve lower cost in many aspects (I was part of ebXML phase I 
activity, too). But apparently this is not well proven from the users' 
perspective. It's still our turn to prove this.

It is sometimes difficult to find good values in ebMS other than 
implementation cost. Since price only matters for the first or recurring 
investment, lower implementation cost or lower product price is often 
not good enough for users to adopt it.  I'd be very happy if someone can 
guide me to good value analysis on this. IMHO real value of ebMS will 
come from the synergy effect with other ebXML specs, especially in 
regard to recurring cost. I want to see it really happen. It's worth 
discussing, where we are in reality and where we should go.

How do you think?
