Companies continue to be under pressure to perform better, faster, to do more with less and match their customers` constantly changing expectations. Integrating business processes within the enterprise has been difficult enough. Implementing collaborative business processes between trading partners across the Internet is far harder.
What has surprised everyone is how challenging it has been to actually do e-business. One of the reasons why this is so is that companies have found it difficult to manage their business processes, especially when they stretch across multiple systems, software applications, companies and countries. This is about to change as new technology evolves capable of overcoming many of these pitfalls.
Stellenbosch-based B2B pioneer zenAptix, has teamed with local and international B2B experts to present a two day conference with the theme "Getting down to electronic business using Web services and XML".
Independent international consultant Dieter Jenz from Frankfurt, Germany will be one of the guest speakers at this conference which will be held at the Sandton Hilton on 4 and 5 June 2002. Jenz will discuss the directions electronic business standards are taking and the latest product developments for collaborative business solutions. He will also provide guidance on how to go about deciding on the right B2B solution for your organisation.
Other topics to be covered at this seminar are the international efforts towards a single global electronic business infrastructure, the significance of trading partner agreements, the use of Web services and the business benefit of XML. Sun Microsystems is the official sponsor of this event.
ZenAptix has pioneered the development of the first full implementation of the ebXML specification, an emerging global standard for collaborative business between entities of any size, anywhere in the world. Many of the leading industry groups and all the major IT vendors support the ebXML initiative (www.ebXML.org).
Zenaptix`s flagship product is Xeco, a business process integration and management solution that is flexible and adaptable to suit most environments. It is fully compliant with the latest ebXML specification.
What business managers will take away from this conference is a fundamental understanding of the value of collaborative business processes, the technology currently available and the way forward to realise the benefits to be gained.
