We will invite companies who are interested to implement Internet
supply chain projects as well as solutions vendors who can help these
companies to implement their solutions.
During the initial phase the SIG member will study the recommendation
by the ITSC-WG as well as other standard-working committees.
SIG members will decide upon which recommendation to adopt and work
closely to implement the solution. Member companies will undertake
their project either by themselves or with member solutions vendors.
During the implementation phase, members will get together to discuss
issues and problems. The SIG will also help members to organize relevant
seminar or training program to assist members. SIG will help to promote
the final adopted solutions to other interested companies.
The membership is opened to all companies and solutions vendors.
