Yes - the company name must start with an "A", end with an "e" and have only three other letters ;-) Seriously, there are a few pieces of work by the OASIS IIC that you may wish to review. These deal with inter operability and conformance, not with vendor size, stability etc. The Drummond Group also ran inter operability tests for ebXML Messaging and to some degree CPA. These were sponsored by EAN/UCC international. Some software providers have partnership programs that have resulted in large companies being able to offer ebXML software. My previous company had a relationship with iWay Software. They are a large company out of NYC and they further VAR with Microsoft. The end result is that Microsoft offers an ebXML Messaging adapter on their website (written in Java nonetheless). http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/evaluation/adapters/adapters.asp scroll down the second list to "ebXML" and you will see iWay. One of my personal recommendations is that vendors who can hide the complexity of ebXML from the end user and also add on features that make it solve a problem are likely to be favored. That is merely my opinion however. Duane Zachary Alexander wrote: > All, > > I have been working with a client on to develop an ebXML vendor > selection process.
