Southern California eBusiness Forum - Meeting Reminder
SCeBF MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
The hottest single topic of discussion in all of e-Business today is
"product identification." Whether one needs to synchronize product IDs with
suppliers or customers, or identify products in inventory in an automated
manner, we all need to know more about this burgeoning field, lest our
companies be left behind the competition.
This meeting will bring together several of the aspects of product
identification and enable members to begin to relate their experiences at
previous meetings and in their own workplaces regarding product
identification standards and its surrounding issues.

rhetoric in the press
