Paper Abstract:
|
Business-to-Business (B2B) standards enable organizations to coordinate and align their communication. The
implementation of such standards is not a straight-forward and simple process. Even so, only little research exists so far
in the area. Implementation is associated with various problems, much of which can be attributed to a general low level of
knowledge about standards, their implementation, and use. This paper presents a general model for the B2B standards
implementation process based on a combination of literature analysis and empirical data. The resulting implementation
model consists of three main phases: preparation, architectural and consolidation, each of which having at least three subphases.
The model can be used as a foundation for improving the planning of B2B standards implementation projects,
and to improve implementation performance and the likelihood of success. It can thereby assist organizations in learning
and in avoiding mistakes. |
