What I've seen is that there are basically two groups that go xml. People who have very specific needs will often go xml. This is the case for data that really goes beyond what you would normally express in EDI transactions.
And then the people that really have never done EDI before will sometimes use XML as their kind of "flat-file" replacement. And then buy services from a translated to do real EDI. :-) On 10/4/07, w_cohen99 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've seen some Forrester Rresearch reports about how XML is growing as > a B2B data exchange format.
