Re: [ebxml-mktg] ebXML JMT - Looking to pitch ebxml in the newbusiness landscape

[David Lyon <djlyon@froggy.com.au>]

This certainly looks interesting.

Having read your assessment of ebxml at the moment I tend to agree that
there is a rapid reshaping of the world in which ebXML will be going into.

There seems to be many IT departments that are imploding, and many companies
now (especially in the midsize landscape) don't have an IT department at
all.

Added to this, there is a large amount of sceptisism within business about
overpromise and under-delivery of computer software and in particular
ecommerce.

Having said this, the opportunities for ebxml are probably now, in all
fairness, greater than what they may have been during the internet bubble.
To capitalise on theses opportunities, we probably need to revisit exactly
what the value proposition of what ebXML is. Because the landscape of IT has
changed, ebXML needs to adapt it's strategy to the new world.

I would suggest that there might be some brainstorming on this topic as it
might turn out to be a very useful exercise in moving forward.
