Interoperability Strategies |

The goal of this session is for the group to:
- Move toward a shared understanding of the major obstacles
to standards interoperability; and
- Identify and prioritize strategies and tactics for
achieving interoperability.
The expectation is to walk away from the session with a
broad, written outline these obstacles and strategies.

Gary O'Neall, an expert facilitator and
experienced standards-group participant, will lead the session.
Gary honed his facilitation skills during 15 years at Hewlett
Packard, where he held a variety of engineering management
positions, including General Manager Electronic Commerce. |

requirements within standard e-procurement mechanisms |
