<SALES> EDIFIX supports OAGIS
OAGIS - the Open Applications Group Integration Specifications - is a
standard developed by the <http://www.openapplications.org> Open
Applications Group, Inc. (OAGI) to integrate supplementary business
applications with companies' existing software, and to transmit data
between companies faster and more economically.
The need for such interoperability was recognized in the mid-1990s by
leading American software manufacturers, who joined together in a
consortium to create a solution. The non-profit Open Applications Group,
Inc. (OAGI) was founded in 1995 by ERP software specialists including
American Software, CODA Financials, Dun & Bradstreet, Marcam, SAP,
PeopleSoft and Software 2000.
The approach was to apply the "plug & play" principle to software
integration. This basic theoretical concept was published as a white
paper, and its implementation in a proof-of-concept demonstration was
presented in 1995.
The "Open Applications Group's Integration Specification", published in
1996, was the first specification to implement the concept. In 1999, XML
was integrated in the specification as a meta-data language. The
business object documents, or BODs, which represent the basic
transactions are drafted based on XML. BODs include Add PO, Cancel PO,
Get Pricelist, Load Receivables, and many more.
OAGIS undergoes continuous expansion and development. The latest
revision <http://www.openapplications.org/downloads/oagidownloads.htm>
is available to the public from the OAGI web site.
Open Applications Group purpose is to
<http://www.openapplications.org/global/intro.htm> define and promote
"...a unifying standard for eBusiness and Application Software
interoperability that reduces customer cost and time to deploy
solutions". In order to fulfill this mission, the Open Applications
Group not only takes on responsibility for the XML dialect OAGIS, but
also offers companies a forum for the exchange of information in which
topics such as integration, best practices, user demands and the
propagation of OAGIS can be discussed.
GEFEG EDIFIXR 5.0 includes an import process for the OAGIS BODs so that
they are available for further processing, including specification,
testing and documentation.
