Adoption of B2B standards
Abstract
Interactions between organisations through business processes are becoming more and more frequent. A common step to take is to integrate processes, both within and between companies. One of the most common approaches is to use standards-based communication for information exchange. Even though much effort in both academia and industry is dedicated to enhance standards and to develop technical solutions for using them, few case studies have been made of how standards are actually being used in practice. Our paper reports on two case studies. The goal was to provide a multifaceted view on how standards are adopted in practice, and how different roles view standards usage. Results show that inter-operability is the key issue – in both standards usage and between the roles.
