First, C1 announces auction acquisition (w/reverse auctions), Nov. 7th and discusses the real time issues with procurement in the supply chain... `Up to now our industry has focused on automation of the fixed-price relationship between buyers and sellers,' Kevin Schick, vice president of product marketing at Commerce One, said in a conference call. ``Our customers now need something that supports them in this new dynamic process.' dailynews.yahoo.com A week later Ariba acquires trading dynamics to do the same thing... rd.yahoo.comhttp://cbs.marketwatch.com/archive/19991115/news/current/arba.htx?source=blq/yhoo&dist=yhoo Yesterday C1 announces a deal with Neon to provide ERP interface (another big issue in getting this stuff to work).. The Commerce One Solution dynamically links buying and supplying organizations into real-time trading communities, increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs across the entire indirect supply chain. When implemented with NEON's e-Business Integration products, this solution inter-operates with existing systems, such as accounting and inventory management. For instance, purchase orders created by customers using the BuySite solution are integrated to an ERP system for posting to the accounts payable system.* Creating the necessary links between applications for such organizations can be a time-consuming, risky and error-prone custom programming task. NEON e-Biz Integrator eliminates the need for custom integration coding by supplying an out-of-the-box software solution to integrate Commerce One with packaged applications and legacy systems. The NEON e-Biz Integrator product will include the Adapters to Commerce One products such as BuySite and MarketSite.net. biz.yahoo.com Anything yet from Ariba? Because unless Arba is forging an alliance with Beas right now (the competitor to neon - I think?), then C1 is ahead in this interface area which is a rough one.
