Mr A, you are correct. The article says SLR uses Agile's product data management system. They also use middleware from Extricity Software that makes it easier for companies to exchange data. The Web server and related code are Microsoft products. The article mentioned that a big impediment is a lack of communications which is why SLR joined RossettaNet a consortium of high-tech companies developing a set of industry-specific XML tags that will enable trading partners with markedly different business processes and data formats to exchange info. My take in all this is that SLR is positioned as the premier contract manufacturer and aiming to stay that way. -Dave
