ebXML 5 Year Celebrations!

To commemorate the first five years since the publishing of the original ebXML specifications we are providing a focus page and resources. There you will find links to critical analysis of ebXML, technology summaries, assessments, original articles from 5 years ago, and more. Have your say on what is succeeding with ebXML and what has failed to make an impact.

OASIS Business-Centric Methodology (BCM) V1.0 approved

When implementing eBusiness and ebXML projects managers need a sound methodology to be able to articulate the requirements and constraints for the work needed.

The OASIS BCM specification compliments the ebXML solution stack and provides just such business-centric tools for implementers.

"BCM gives business people the choice to think in business terms--not in 'techno-babble'," said Peter Fingar, industry expert on business process management and author of the newly released book, Extreme Competition.

"BCM helps managers precisely communicate their business goals among heterogeneous partners as well as layering the appropriate steps that must be applied for a project to succeed. By increasing communication between business partners and their developers, the standard lets enterprises achieve a greater degree of agility than would otherwise be possible."
