Subject: RE: [ebxml-mktg-sc] Questions vis EDI and WS
Needless to say why they ask about EDI: http://www.webservices.org/index.php/article/articleview/447/1/24 Monica -----Original Message----- From: David RR Webber - XMLGlobal [mailto:Gnosis_@compuserve.com] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 1:08 PM To: ebXML Mkt Steering Subject: [ebxml-mktg-sc] Questions vis EDI and WS Hi, Here's a stack of questoins from my WebCast today. I find these REALLY useful is telling us how we need to position here. BTW - the transcript from my present will be available on-line later today - so will make a great resource - assuming you agree with my answers ; -) I obviously interjected ebXML as a major piece of the puzzle. DW. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ----- 1. 24 sound like a lot of standard is still missing, ie, security, etc... should I start to do web service now? n/a 2. 23 What do you see in your crystal ball as far as the next generation of webservices 5 years down the road? n/a 3. 22 What is the relationship between the ebXML and the EAI ? n/a 4. 21 Could you send me your PPT? (patterc@nationwide.com) n/a 5. 20 David: Is this really a shift that we saw in different paradigms from '80s to '90s and till now or merely an evolutionary transformation from the mainframe centric through client server to CORBS/RMI/J2EE and now webservices? Thanks. Murali Iyengar (SAIC) n/a 6. 19 Why is all proposed WS activity beyond the firewall? I see this as only 5-10% of current activity. (e.g, most is within firewall because of security concerns). Why the difference? n/a Can Web services handle vendor managed inventory like EDI? n/a Can EDI and Web services live together? Any reason they wouldn't behave? n/a Where is a good place to start integrating Web services within an existing EDI hookup? What should I be looking for? n/a If you're already invested in EDI, what's the business case for starting the switch to Web Services? n/a Getting qualified EDI outsourcing is getting to be more of a problem. Yet Web services developers are fairly common, as they already have related experience. Isn't this a good time to consider moving to Web services, at least with pilot projects? n/a The only short-coming I see of Web services over EDI is security. Are the Web services security standards in place now? What's the status? n/a We have an initial EDI implementation now but even this was costly. Instead of proceeding with the full blown EDI project -- I'm rethinking a less costly solution with Web services. What is the downside to Web services? n/a Will Web Services and EDI combine into some type of hybrid as Web Services gains more steam? n/a Are web services a better fit than EDI for smaller organizations? n/a Now that Value-Added Network operators are pushing Web Services -- doesn't that mean that EDI's days may be numbered? n/a Have you noticed major vendors avoiding talking about ebXML and mostly talking up Web services? n/a Is this an accurate statement: Use EDI is you need mostly computer-to-computer communications and Web services/XML for less-costly projects than demand more flexibility? n/a I've read that the use of EDI is actually increasing. Would a small-to-medium sized company benefit from EDI or is EDI only for those deep pockets? n/a Don't most EDI implementations follow the old-style hub-and-spoke method? Or is there more freedom now? n/a Leading EAI vendors are folding Web Services capabilities into their products. When will Web services surpass EDI as the solution of choice? n/a Isn't EDI a closed system and extremely expensive? I thought Web services would be replacing this type of costly integration? n/a Are Web Services the next-generation EDI?
