DESCRIPTION
At this Pub Talk, Mr. von Riegen will discuss the UDDI (Universal
Description, Discovery and Integration) initiative and SAP's involvement.
As announced on October 4th, SAP plans to become an operator for
the UDDI Business Directory. SAP will build, run, and maintain a
global UDDI node. Existing operators include IBM, Microsoft, and
Hewlett-Packard. Both SAP and IBM are current Executive Sponsors
of the Center. This type of collaborative initiative is what the
spirit of the Internet Economy is all about!
Come learn more about the UDDI Initiative, billed as the first
true Yellow Pages for the Web, which seeks to make it easier for
businesses to provide information about their products and services
on the Web as well as locate partners and customers. In addition
to learning more about SAP's role as an operator, come hear how
SAP will let its customers register for the UDDI registry through
its SAP Service Marketplace, integrating information from back-office
systems into the registry.
