    Notes on slide 1

    This is one year agile life-cycle to see results - longer gestations typical of some orgs will just end up losers Today, commerce communications API, ECGridOS, out in the market, experiencing the same birth pangs as any new tech, but stable, enduring interest from just such target parties that one would hope for Comms makes all else possible. An empowered Engineering Task Force need room and trust to run with the ball. If not, It’s all just meetings in the “Mud of Elbonia:.

    There are numerous “close to the ground” commerce sectors that have been bypassed by classic SCM and ERP Likewise, there are new Web Commerce services that are ‘stealing’ the market from classic accounting and inventory management . Some start from the “NO EDI” premise. Some are EDI virgins, show interest....if the services were more granular and easy to embed.

    The best lessons from SCM and ERP commerce services should be applied to offering API services that can be used by tool smiths, OEMs, platforms, and multi-Tenant SAAS / PAAS The worst sins should be avoided - stovepipes, lock-in, complexity, make it easy for partners to pair and trade. Make it an easy add-in for hosts. It will happen with or without you.

    The combined marketing effect will be powerful - sample apps, app frameworks, cross marketing, tie ins with big SCM

    This strategy is one way that courts web commerce and new hosted services using their preferred methods - open data and APIs The greatest failing of the Web 20 sector for commerce is the isolated market functions The greatest opportunity is the ability to connect partners across platforms - without the typical EDI wrangling of human aided translate / map / translate. AS economy recovers, platforms that become familiar with commerce API’s grow into SCM ERP targets.

    Nothing stops a call to direct communications, in this example, access and data are mediated by network API layer. Higher level functions require directory access

    6. Old Way / New Way Improve the End User Process with ECGridOS VAN Limitations: ECGridOS: ➡ No Programmable interfaces ➡ Powerful, Programmable, Configurable, and Integrated ➡ Code-Level control of All Administrative Functions ➡ Manual Administration via arcane process (external web ➡ Code Level User Account and Mailbox Administration page) ➡ Code Level Handling of Errors and Delivery Exceptions ➡ Each VAN Uses Different Conventions. ➡ Network Owner Level of Admin Authority ➡ Status Reporting Relies on ➡ Reduced complexity with one interface External Web Page. ➡ Send, Receive, Track, Report End-to-End ➡ No Customization, Integration, or interoperability. ➡Years of Network Ops Experience, delivered as a configurable and customizable EDI communications tools suite ➡ Limited or No Automation. ➡Build EDI into your products - don’t bolt it on! © 2009, 4

    8. Embedding EDI Communications Services  What’s in the WSDL? WSDL= A Description of API Services. Not for light reading ...it is for Integrated Development Environments or Integration Platforms to Import functions. API Families: System Access & User Management APIs for control of login/logout and other basic system access functionality. Network/Mailbox Management APIs to create and maintain Networks and Mailboxes Trading Partner ID Management Add, edit, delete and manage Trading Partners assigned to a specific Network/Mailbox. Interconnect Management Create and manage Interconnects between IDs throughout the ECGrid Network. Carbon Copy Management APIs to manage Carbon Copy interchanges for Trading Partner pairs. Parcel Management APIs to send and receive mailbags, interchanges and other payloads over the ECGrid Network. Reports Various system reports. © 2009, 5
    9. Case: Adding A QID to ECGrid & Establishing an Interconnect to a VAN-based Trading Partner Host Program Calling and Return Param Example Session API Function Params Returns Login() LoginName -Password SessionID string (GUID) TPAdd() (Self)1 SessionID (GUID) User Defined QID Description ECGridID TPSearch()2 SessionID (GUID) QID ECGridIDInfo Collection3 InterconnectAdd() SessionID (GUID) ECGridID Source/Dest Reference InterconnectID Logout() SessionID (GUID) Notes: 1 - Not required if owner’s QID has been previously mapped to ECGridID 2 - Example assumes QID exists in ECGridID routing table 3 - A TPSearch() that returns a (null) result is handled with a simple routine using NetworkList()(to find VAN NetworkID)and TPAddVAN()to acquire ECGridID © 2009, 6
    10. ECGridOS Network Advantages ➡ 23 Years of Network Operations Experience Carefully Distilled into 78 powerful functions. ➡ Callable by any code asset, IDE, Web Services Consumer, ESB, SOA ➡ Confers the power of a VAN upon your application.
