Business Collaborations ‘A Better Way’ David Welsh Collaborative Domain, Inc. http://www.collaborativedomain.com
Presentation Overview • E-Business Problem • Critical Success Factors • Business Collaboration Architecture • Economic Model • Overview of ebTWG(ebXML-2) activities
Business Problems / Solutions • Looking for solutions in the right place !! • Business problems are solved with business solutions. • So, why are we looking in technical places ? • Business defined by Technologists ? • Decouple definition of business (it’s meaning) from the underlying technology.
E-Business Requirements • Facilitate a structure and environment that permits business to conduct business that is familiar and trusted – a “safe harbor” • Conduct of business does not require a level of sophistication beyond the skill set of the normal business person – convenient • Conduct of business is profitable – reduces cost or increases opportunities (execution)
Four Critical Success Factors • Familiar • Activity being conducted is as crucial to business as the conducting of business itself. • Trust • Assurance that what they meant to do, is what they did and that it was done accurately, respecting privacy for information and process • Convenient • In specification and usage; simplicity • Profitable • In cost savings or increase opportunity • In conducing business as prescribed
Embrace and Deploy Business Solutions • If a business solution is both familiar and trusted, then business will embrace the solution as viable and useful. • If a business solution is profitable and convenient, then business will deploy the solution.
Prescription, Precision & Reification • Prescriptive methodology yields predictable results • Uniformity of notation and precision of semantics provide concise and unambiguous business process definitions • Reification provides the rigor and precision necessary for high-fidelity transformation between business definitions and technology definitions – no loss of semantics or context • Technology and Protocol unbiased is the key to easy adaptation and shared solutions.
