Workflow and the Internet: Catalysts for Radical Change
hot!
Today, everyone is likely to agree on the fact that Internet is a major technological revolution which every company needs to consider. However, even 3 years ago it was not like that. Internet deployment around the world - both at public and professional levels - is the fastest technological evolution of this century. The Internet will connect 200 million users in the year 2000, and perhaps one billion in 2010. Within two or three years, the whole computer and telecommunication industries have redeployed their development and marketing forces to provide tools and services on the Internet, to enhance its infrastructure and standards and provide supporting products. The level of investment is unprecedented and has now gone far beyond the point of no return. White Paper Events David Hollingsworth

In order that companies making purchasing decisions can use conformance statements as a buying criteria, those statements need to be both credible and meaningful. This document is intended to provide a basis for: · vendors to understand what is required of their products if they are to claimconformance and why · purchasers to understand what conformance claims made by vendors mean. |
