Short Take: Connect backs OBI protocol
E-commerce software vendor Connect will make its OrderStream and PurchaseStream applications comply with the Open Buying on the Internet (OBI) standard recently published by the Internet Purchasing Roundtable. OBI is designed to create a standard way for business-to-business buying and selling applications to communicate with each other. Connect's OrderStream automates sales over the Net for sellers; PurchaseStream manages Net-based purchasing. American Express spearheaded the OBI effort.
