Ariba to focus on 5 industries
Ariba announced that it plans to concentrate its development efforts on five vertical industries, but customers expressed skepticism that the business-to-business software vendor will be able to get the market share it wants.

B2B sites lacking customer service
There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to customer service provided by business-to-business marketplaces.

CA, Kyocera Build WASP Data Centers
Computer Associates International, Inc. has forged an East-meets-West partnership with Kyocera Communication Systems Co. to build wireless data centers that will be marketed to application service providers and large enterprise customers.

SAS, Hyperion tackle supplier relationship management
As a slowing economy and the drive to outsource all but a company's core technology puts the cost of buying goods under scrutiny, managing the supplier relationship may supplant e-procurement as the key strategy to reduce spending.

Schema speeds wireless networks
Schema is helping wireless carriers maximize the use of their networks, but that's just its latest incarnation.

After The B-To-B Revolution
It was going to be a $6 trillion miracle, changing industries from auto parts to aerospace. Now it's just another piece of software.

Ingersoll-Rand Offers Procurement Service
Ingersoll-Rand launched its new 21st Supplier service, which will handle the online procurement processes for Fortune 1,000 firms looking to connect their smallest suppliers to their back ends.

An outsourcing partnership that really works
Proving to be an exception to the sorry state of many vendor-customer outsourcing partnerships, the relationship between retailer Beach Street and turnkey POS solutions provider Kliger- Weiss Info Systems is smooth and friendly.

Users Anticipate Integrated Lawson/Siebel Applications
Analyst says users will most likely be eager to learn about the integration of Siebel software with Lawson's ERP suite and its analytical products.

IBM, Microsoft Launch B2B Directory; Response Slow
IBM and Microsoft launched the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration directory, a Yellow Pages-style B2B directory that allows companies to locate business partners, but only a dozen or so end-user firms are backing the vendor-led directory.

Model N emerges at last
Zack Rinat is ready to unleash Model N, his B2B startup whose software allows companies to establish a private network with customers and partners so that business processes such as order management and contract management can be automated.

Netspace Moves Its Net Space
One of the Internet's oldest e-mail listservs is graduating from college, moving to the big city, and refocusing.

B2B Vendors Must Start Focusing On Basics
Attendees at Commerce One's user's conference in New Orleans said confusion reigns in the B2B arena.

Oracle, Akamai Cache In
Oracle and Akamai have teamed to create a technology that they say accelerates the delivery of Web content by caching dynamic and static Internet pages.

Gorilla Tactics
Forget all those standards committees and industry consortia that talk about XML-based business-to-business e-commerce. The 800-pound gorillas in your supply chain will be calling the shots.

LMGT's CEO pushes his company to the first tier of systems integrators
CEO of Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications (LMGT), readily admits that he heads a "second-tier" systems integration company.

Outsell Launches First Definitive Study On European B2B Information Content End Users
European I-AIM(TM)to Examine Use Habits, Preferences and Budgets of Information End Users in Major UK, German, and French Corporations

MarketSoft, MarketFirst boost B2B marketing
Marketing on the Internet isn't only about selling to consumers as two new marketing automation software offerings clearly attest.

ASP group unveils contract guidelines
The ASP Industry Consortium and the World Intellectual Property Organization released a set of recommendations and guidelines that address global dispute avoidance and resolution procedures for application service providers

B2B standards push by rival vendors faces big challenges
IBM's announcement of a new Web services architecture makes it the latest in a line of technology vendors to promise support for open B2B standards. But making it all work isn't expected to be easy.

Data centers run for cover
At the height of the dot-com boom, one business was even more fashionable than the half-witted e-tailers: data centers.

Small business coalition launches
CompTIA, 3Com, Gateway, Intel co-found organization.
