  1. B2B Standards Do Not Work A research agenda proposal Fred van Blommestein fred@flowcanto.com

  2. ROI of B2B? • 17% of the work in organisations is spent for routine administration*) • 50% of the administrative work can be avoided if we interconnect business information systems*) • A saving potential of 6% GDP(for Holland € 37 bln) • Yet: • Only 15% of the companies send electronic invoices to 4 customers on average *) These figures were verified in a study, commissioned by the Dutch Government

Rosettanet Odette UBL PIDX CIDX Eurofer GS1 AIAG Boost Aero HR-XML B2B Standards Development • Standardization committees design models manually • Models are harmonized manually by a committeeof about 15 members • Models are adopted and adapted by collaborating organisations on a case to case basis • Each interface needs a € 100 000 project. UN/CEFACT
