Re: [ebxml-mktg] Gartner & ebXML again

Hi Steve,

We all understand this frustration very much. In responsed to your comment

I have yet to meet a "technology analyst" that really understands this
space so have a strong suspicion that much of the negative ("too
complex") positioning is simply because Gartner themselves do not
understand how the ebXML framework fits together and haw it can address
genuine B2B issues.

I had the pleasure of talking to analyst Joanne Friedman, V.P E-commerce strategy from Meta Group and she had good things to say about  ebXML BPSS.

So lets not loose hope altogether ;o)

Cheers
