ASC X12’s New Mission & Call for Input on a New Message Envelope Structure

When: Thursday, May 15, 2008 - 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM Eastern Time

This 1-hour webinar will showcase ASC X12’s new mission to drive global adoption of business interoperability through collaborative standards creation, industry education and sustainable business practices. To advance this mission, ASC X12 leadership is initiating a dialogue with its user community and the business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) standards community at large to discuss and gather requirements for the potential design of a new message wrapper, which would serve as an alternative to the current envelope. A new envelope structure would accommodate standards other than X12 and result in the seamless movement of data across supply chain, health care, financial and text messaging networks around the world.
