I was reading "Network World" tonight.  They have
a special section this week on E-Commerce.  I
happened upon an interesting article about a
company (ABF Frieght System) making sound 
innovative business. They won the Network World's
2001 E-comm Innovator of the Year Award.

I think this article is worth reading.  Of course,
XML is part of the solution but the XML is being used
as a mechanism to transport data.  The article can be
found on-line at:

ABF isn't the only company rolling up their sleeves,
looking at their system and business problems and
finding XML as one of the technologies as a solution.
The key phrase is "one of".  XML can't do it alone
but it plays a key role.  

Enjoy!
