Good question. You should actually think of XML as another syntax that will
work beside X12, EDIFACT and other EDI standards. EDI is a process that
facilitates e-business transactions. XML will allow companies to move to
the internet and use open human readable and machine readable standards.
XML won't replace edi, it will actually become the new internet edi. As for
fortune 1000 companies, they are beginning to use XML with production
systems. Most notably with RosettaNet, Commerce One, and Ariba
implementations. They are also using XML to perform EAI functions
internally and publish information to the web.

Subject: XML usage in the Forture 1000
Does anyone have a feel or inkling as to the usage of XML in the Fortune
1000 companies either in addition to or in place of EDI? I was at a
conference not too long ago and I heard the quote the some 95% of the
F1000 companies were active in EDI and I wondered how far along XML was
in that penetration.
A followup question is how much of the XML going on in the F1000 is in
production rather than pilot or test?
Thanks,
