Terrific OAGi Chemical Council Call Yesterday

We had a terrific Chemical Council call this week on Tuesday, March 27 led by Tom Fannon of Ashland, who is the Chair of the Council.  We discussed the status of all of the OAGi standards projects and planned for the next two webinars of 2012.

The next two webinars will be on Cloud computing concepts, examples, and OAGIS work for the Cloud.  Jim Wilson, our OAGi Chief Architect will conduct the two webinars, each 30 minutes long, on April 10 and April 12.

In addition, Tom Fannon brought up a call he was on concerning the value of B2B and he said many organizations are not feeling the pain because they are going with one off solutions so they do not know the pain they are causing in other parts of their organizations or with their partners.  

After some really good discussion, it was decided to try to pursue a White Paper on the topic, and to get the hub solution provides to get involved along with some customers like Ashland.   I asked Tom to begin thinking of a there for the white paper and develop a desired outcome.

I am looking forward to the process and the result.
