It has been very expensive here at Cisco. Primarily in labor expenses. It is not the low cost that it is cracked up to be. Getting the security and architectural setup just right has taken many months of effort and is still not where we want it because of firewall issues. Designing our own DTDs to fit our needs was a three month design process because RosettaNet does not yet support the business processes we need.
XML is as costly as EDI in areas of supporting differing trading partnerships. Currently it is more costly due it's newness and rapidly evolving standards and tools.
Good luck in your implementation.

Group,
I am beginning to consider implementing an XML solution to my eCommerce
needs. Right now I am trying to gather information about what are some of
the costs and issues people have encountered in moving from Zero to Fully
XML. I would appreciate it if the members of this group could pass on this
sort of information to me.
