supporting the Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG) Automotive Network
eXchange(R) (ANX(R)) Service -
TimeStep Corporation, a leader in secure virtual private network (VPN)
solutions, announced it will conduct two free online seminars intended to
help automotive industry manufacturers and suppliers connect to the
Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG) Automotive Network eXchange(R)
(ANX(R)) service, the world's largest extranet. The seminars, conducted in
cooperation with ANX service partners Bellcore - the ANX Overseer,
Ameritech, and BCE Emergis will be held March 15 and 24, 1999, through the
TimeStep web site (www.timestep.com).
The TimeStep ANX seminars represent an opportunity for automotive
suppliers and manufacturers - and the general public - to learn about the
ANX service, a network of automotive industry trading partners. The ANX
service was designed to provide a secure, efficient means of conducting
business-to-business communications and electronic commerce.
Two Part Seminar Series:
Both seminars are open to the public and can be viewed by registering
at www.timestep.com/anx. The first seminar, to be held March 15, is
entitled, Understanding the ANX Service: An Overview. Attendees of seminar
one will learn about the ANX service and how it can help businesses operate
more cost-effectively and efficiently. Automotive industry members
interested in joining the ANX service will learn how to do so, while every
participant will receive a general introduction to VPN technology.
The second seminar, to be held March 24, is called Connecting to the
ANX Service: "Real World" Deployments. In this session, participants will
learn how to get connected by walking through the entire process from
internal planning to deployment. Participants will also learn what business
benefits they enjoy through their involvement in the ANX service.
"The ANX service is an example of online commerce at its best and a
study in what can be accomplished when an industry works together toward a
common goal," said Tim Hember, President and CEO, TimeStep Corp. "We're
proud to be associated with Bellcore, Ameritech, and BCE Emergis in
conducting these seminars and proud to be part of the ANX service
experience."
Online Community
Participants can chat online with industry experts immediately after
the seminar presentations have completed. The seminars begin at 2 PM (EST)
and are approximately fifteen minutes in length. Questions can be asked in
a posting board forum, with frequently asked questions remaining online
through autumn.
TimeStep will maintain this online community to make pertinent and
timely information available on an ongoing basis. Participants should
frequently check www.timestep.com/anx to receive the most up to date
information on the ANX service.
