OAGIS Training Online

There is a tremendous resource now available on the web that is a three part training class given by OAGIS members and staff.

This was done at an HR-XML meeting because they use OAGIS technoclogy to build their standard. The links to the training classes are just below.

STEP Convergence is back

It looks like the STEP convergence efforts we started in 2008 - 2009 will be starting back up after a short break.

NIST is taking the lead and looking for funding to help with the effort.

I am excited about the possibilities. Right now it is in organizing mode, but it does look like one of our members, Boeing, is interested in participating.

I will update on this in future blogs.

OAGIS Case Studies posted

We posted 20 OAGIS Case Studies on our website recently. These come from members and users and contain some tremendous information and cover many aspects of both B2B and Enterprise Integration. The webpage is here.

These have been presented at our face to face meetings over the last few years. We have at least one new one coming up at our May, 2010 meeting as I well. I invite you to register for that meeting now. You can register here.
