TO: XML/EDI Group Many of us who work in the e-business field often toil in obscurity, particularly when the functions we perform are considered 'back-office'. At DISA, we would like to give recognition to working e-business applications, wherever they sit in the organization, with something called the E-Business Enterprise (EBE) Award that we will present at our annual conference on 8 March 2001 in San Francisco. The EBE Award will go to the entering organization with the most innovative application using business-to-business data exchange in operation for at least six months. In fact, all entrants representing operational systems in place for six months and using business-to-business data exchanges will receive recognition as nominees. We feel it is just as important to note the extent of working applications out there as much as a winning entry. Nominations may come from individual companies, as well as vendors or industry associations who have clients or members with working e-business systems that would like to get the recognition they deserve. The Board of Directors of the EC Institute, the organization building a certification program for e-business professionals, will judge the entries. The deadline for entries is 12 January 2001.
