Subject: [ubl-dev] RE: [ebxml-dev] Q: minimum requirement for ebxml?
Folks As one who has worked on UBL for a year now I'm virtually jumping up and down for joy to see a company producing products which realise what I personally have so wanted to see delivered with ebXML and UBL - i.e. products with real promise for small and medium sized enterprises and small businesses which allow them to deal with the larger companies in what I hope will be a cost effective way. Full marks from me to Accountis. http://www.accountis.com/accountis/index.html Their advertised plans to open some of this up as opensource too is great news for our open and royalty free standards efforts. IMHO of course :-) http://www.accountis.com/accountis/modelsource.html Stephen Green >>> <AlanKotok@cs.com> 03/08/04 14:28:58 >>> David, et al: The latest issue of ebXML Forum has an article on the use of ebXML with electronic invoicing that describes a service from Accountis, a British company. Accountis's service includes plug-ins for secure transfers using ebMS and integration with leading accounting packages. See http://www.ebxmlforum.org/articles/ebFor_20040724.html .
