Negative Positive
Title: Quick Read but not enough meat
Review: The dust jacket has a picture of the New York Stock Exchange on it. I should have realized that the book is written from a financial market perspective (Both authors are from the securities industry). Their knowledge of business backend systems seems to be limited. One quote: "All enterprise resource planning systems are now designed to be fully EDI compliant and XML capable." If only that were true. I would recommend the book to people who are thinking about starting a b2b exchange (although you will be a little late to the party). Otherwise, there is a good article in the March 13, 2000 issue of The Industry Standard that will probably give you all the informaiton you need.
Is the review positive or negative?
