Not if that business needs EDI and knows developers who can get them online using XML as the bridge between EDI and their backend systems, all around $1000. I think you're overemphasizing "standards" here. They are important, yes, but I have yet to work in *any* company that truly follows any kind of standard. Most morph what standards they find into their own business practices, which is one reason why EDI costs so much. -BKN .
