  10. KEY 1998 CHALLENGES • Strategic Implementation Task Group • Global EDI Standards • Six-Month Maintenance Cycle

  11. SITG OBJECTIVE Make EDI technology widely available, non-obtrusive to the business process, & cost effective for all organizations METRICS: • Well-defined, consistent standards for interoperability • Off-the-shelf, commercially available tools • Separate standards development from application design & programming • Availability of training & reference solutions, e.g., leverage industry efforts • Automatic generation of EDI interactions • Separation of data definition & format from transport layer

  12. SITG DELIVERABLES • Develop US action plan for implementation of next generation of EDI • Develop framework for and ensure design of architecture to support next generation of EDI • Develop appropriate bridges from current to future state • Ensure there is a single adopted EDI architecture solution for both X12 & international requirements

  13. WHAT WE HAVE DONE • Formed 2/97 • Cleared deck of “history & emotion” • Confirmed that change was required • Organized to begin work • WG 1 Plan Development • WG 2 Education & Awareness • WG 3 Technical Development • WG 4 Customer Requirements & Metrics • Participating in comparable international process • Developed “Reference Guide” • Draft Project Plan

  14. DUAL TRACK • Any way of doing EDI must permit current & new EDI to exist in parallel • Must define a migration path to assist user community in transition • NOT talking alignment • But we are talking “convergence”

  15. WHAT IS OUR VISION? Implement Open-edi • Modeled Approach • Object-Oriented Technology The “Shrink Wrap” Solution

  16. WHY OPEN-EDI? • Opportunity to lower barriers to electronic data exchange by introducing standard business scenarios & services to support them • Permits electronic processing of business transactions among autonomous organizations within & across sectors • Broadens X12’s scope in the Electronic Commerce playing field

  17. BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER Standards Body for: Business Process Models and Class Libraries Software Providers for: Application Development Expertise WIN - WIN Affordable “Plug and Play” Business Solutions for the User Community

  18. ISSUES FOR X12 • Change will be required • Process • Roles (users, membership, etc.) • Nature of the standards • Acceptance of convergence of all EDI standards • Level of modeling • Rapidity of change • Resource implications • External relationships • Corporate awareness & support • “Co-opetition” & liaison with other organizations • Outreach

  19. SITG & X12 -- NEXT STEPS • Approve the “plan” for the Project Plan • Conduct the analysis • Technical Work • Build pilot for Catalog Order • Create business models • Create business objects • Organizational Work • Define components for standardization • Define organizational structure • Training & education in and out of X12

  20. GLOBAL EDI STANDARDS Shift in Focus from EDIFACT Integration to CEFACT Implementation First Empowered “EDIFACT Work Group” Meeting set for 3/98 DLTG and P&P Enhancing OPM and SD6

  21. 6-MONTH MAINTENANCE CYCLE • Proposal: • 2 publication updates each year • 2 Full X12 Meetings each year (May & Nov.) • - Approve X12 Ballots & Publication Updates • 2 Working X12 Meetings each year (Feb. & Aug.) • - Review/respond to X12 ballot comments • - Optional meetings for Subcommittees

  22. WHY DO THIS? • X12’s focus continues to shift from pure development • to maintenance & implementation. Implications: • Most users don’t need 3 publication cycles/year • Most X12 subgroups don’t need 3 meetings/year • Plus: X12’s current 4-month cycle does not align well with EDIFACT Working Group’s 6-month schedule

  23. HOW WOULD IT WORK? Mid Feb Change Request Cut-Off Early Apr TAS Interim Meeting (Assign Change Requests) Early May FULL X12 MEETING (Ballot Package Determined) Jun 45-day X12 Ballot Period Early Aug X12 Working Meeting (Ballot Comment Response) Sep 30-day Rebuttal Ballot Period or 45-day Reballot Period Early Nov FULL X12 MEETING (Publication Authorized) Jan Annual Release is Published

  24. FULL X12 MEETINGS Who Would Meet? -- Subcommittees Yes -- Steering Comm. Yes -- TAS Yes -- General Session Yes -- PRB Yes DELIVERABLES: Approved X12 Ballot Package (current cycle) Approved publication (previous cycle) WORKING X12 MEETINGS Who Would Meet? -- Subcommittees Optional, except for ballot comment responses -- TAS Yes -- Steering Comm. No -- PRB No -- General Session No DELIVERABLES: Ballot comment responses Rebuttal vs. Reballot decision

  25. ADVANTAGES • Provides flexible meeting frequency options • Reduces # meetings to attend for many people (3 to 2) • Reduces elapsed time to approve a complicated change • Allows better SC participation in maintenance ballot review • Allows better process alignment with EDIFACT • Reduces # sub-releases users have to deal with (2 to 1) • Reduces administrative costs somewhat

  26. DISADVANTAGES • Increases number of meetings for some people (3 to 4) • Increases elapsed time to approve some new transaction sets • Decreases opportunities to publish new standards (3 to 2) • Requires some X12 process change

  27. PATH FORWARD Feb ‘98 Steering Committee decides whether to authorize an X12 member ballot Feb-Jun X12 Member Ballot Jun ‘98 Steering Committee decides when to implement based on positive ballot result Feb ‘99 Earliest potential start-up of new process

  28. THIS WEEK’S AGENDA: • Education on Strategic Implementation Task Group activities • Input into Procedures for EDIFACT Working Group and SD6 • Discussion of Six-Month Publication Cycle Proposal
