FW: Some question on ebXML

Carol

Thank you for your reply. The article will form part of a survey which my consultancy is completing, which will be published in the UK by leading financial press. I need the information as soon as possible, as the article needs to be completed by the end of this week. Publication will be shortly thereafter.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Subject: Some question on ebXML

Dear Carol

I have been researching developments in the e-business field for an article which |I have been asked to write. I have some questions that my research thus far has raised. I wonder if you would be able to give answers for these general questions from a ebXML perspective.

1. What is the value and volume of business transactions that your standards initiative is seeking to address?

2. Of that volume, what is the breakdown by business (or message group) type?

3. What is the breakdown of your target audience by geographical region? What is your breakdown of current membership by geographical region?

4. What is the current cost to businesses addressing the issues without a market standard?

5. What are the main benefits to businesses from this standards initiative? E.g. Cost savings, improvements in efficiency, increased business flexibility.

6. What significant initiatives are currently being undertaken by your organisation? What are the timescales for the implementation of these initiatives?

7. How many businesses are currently using your standards? What is the typical profile of a business using your standards?

8. What links and initiatives do you have with other standards organisations? How do you ensure a cooperative approach and avoid duplication of effort?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards
