Basics

The RosettaNet Basics program has defined Usage Recommendations (URs) , to be used by mid-tier trading partners , that address baseline B2Bi functionality . The RosettaNet Basics URs are to be used together with RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes™ (PIPs(R)) as a starting point . RosettaNet Basics is also helping independent software vendors (ISVs) and solution provider s (SPs) to supply affordable, turnkey solutions . The RosettaNet Basics solution is designed to simplify implementations - in terms of complexity and cost - of RosettaNet standards for mid-tier trading partners.

Program Partners
There are 4 members of RosettaNet's global EC and IT Supply Chain Board involved in this Intel-led milestone program. Intel is joined by Compaq Computer, Hewlett-Packard and Insight. ISVs that have partnered with the board member companies to offer solutions and services which support the RosettaNet Basics URs are E2Open, GridNode, IONA/Netfish, Infoteria Corporation, Inovis (was Peregrine/Extricity), Microsoft, SilverStream, Suplicity, TIBCO Software, Timogen Systems, Vitria and webMethods. We continue to work with other solution providers to review their proposed, RNB software solutions.

2001 Program Achievements
The RosettaNet Basics team completed development of Usage Recommendations for the validated Purchase Order PIPs (3A4, 3A7, 3A8 & 3A9) and Advanced Shipment Notification (3B2). Eleven RosettaNet software solutions were introduced at cost-effective price points for small- to medium-sized companies.

Express
The RosettaNet Express program has de fined a Program Guidance Document (PGD) to be used by trading partners in Taiwan , that address e s baseline B2B i functionality . The Rosetta Net Express PGDs are to be used together with RosettaNet PIPs as a starting point, ultimately resulting in measurable benefits and improving partner relations.

Program Participants
Participating companies include: Acer, ADI, Arima Group, Asus (tek), Compal Electronics, Compeq, Delta Electronics, First International Computer, Inventec, Micro-star International, Mitac, Primax, Sampotech, Tatung and Twinhead.

2001 Program Achievements
The RosettaNet Express team led over 70 small- to medium-sized companies in Taiwan to implement RosettaNet solutions, resulting in a total of 137 RosettaNet PIP/Partner connections.
