RE: Re: Article regarding Covisint purchase
John, I'm curious....from your comments one could conclude that being
XML-based/focused was the fatal flaw. Is this what you want to convey or
were there other deficiencies that contributed to the failure?

Subject: [EDI-L] Re: Article regarding Covisint purchase
I agree with Tom - this isn't too surprising, especially after they
sold off the auction business to FreeMarkets who has subsequently
been acquired by Ariba (Is there a pattern here?). The whole
industry owned consortium thing just hasn't seemed to click. Here in
Atlanta, Omnexus just shut its doors. Omnexus was focused on the
plastics industry and was owned by DuPont and Dow among others. In
their final days there was a deal pending to sell the business, but
he investors chose to shut it down instead.
I spent some time at a paper and forest products exchange here in
Atlanta, and a big part of their offering was a network to exchange
XML messages. It shouldn't be too surprising to this group, but the
XML exchange never took off and they had to retrofit and partner to
enable the exchange of EDI, where they have been moving a pretty
significant volume of traffic.
Maybe with a few more mergers and closings, we'll be done with the
hangover!
