The eBusiness Tidal Wave


The Challenge is: how to take an architecture that has withstood the test of time …


Keep it from being marginalized…


Keep it from being washed away in the technology tidal wave …


And turn it into the centerpiece of a thriving marketplace …


The Dawn of a New Era Built on Service Oriented Architecture


Business Benefits for Trade Facilitation Built on a Service-Oriented Architecture


Vision of a Service-Oriented Architecture for Global Trade• A place where services are

ubiquitous and organically integrated into the way we think and work – globally & locally.

• A place where both users and providers of information interact through a common focus on services.

• A world where technology is implemented within industry frameworks that operate on a global scale, enabled by open, interoperable standards.


Achieving Sustainable Business Benefits through a Common Web Service Framework

In this post-dot-com era, governments & end-user companies are expecting more liquidity and longevity of their assets.

To achieve the Return On Investment, Cost Reduction and Service Expansion benefits expected; the widespread deployment of standards-based Web Services is essential.

Why Are Software Standards Important?

Compatibility

Extensibility

Predictability

Interoperability

Leverage Existing Skills

Rapid Development


Why Vendors Want to Comply…• Deliver customer value

– Rapidity of customization

– Leverage existing know-how so lower cost of IT

– Easy integration with other customer applications

• Gain easier and broader adoption of technology

– Support for common tools & expertise

– More developers means broader deployment

– More companies can easily build applications

• Driving innovation establishes leadership

– Formulation of standards gives competitive edge

– Larger developer community grows adoption


How You Can Influence Vendors?

• Examine and understand software standards that are pertinent to your industry

• Help vendors understand interoperability needs

• Help vendors understand what standards you rely upon today and in the future…and why

• Participate in standards bodies that relate to your business practices

• Do not purchase software products which do not support the standards you need
