It's been a long time since we chatted back in the day when you were my SVP of Marketing at GE. Of course, I couldn't agree more with your statement. That's why GXS continues to improve its ROI models to assist customers in evaluating where it makes sense to upgrade legacy, or build a gateway for seamless B2B integration. Obviously, disaster recovery, stability and performance are all part of the decision making process. See how much I've learned since you saw me last? Wisdom and experience are great things, but I could do without the grey hairs! Please keep in touch. It has been too long. DJ,

And I enjoyed this blog commentary. Leads me to the core question that I find myself asking in most business discussions: "So, what's it worth?" - the essential starting point for a value dialog. In your context, what's it worth for a business to have someone else handle their B2B integration and legacy challenges? The stats you quote are a helpful component of a value dialog. But it's critical for a company to reduce these industry averages / sample result to their OWN context, numbers, etc. All the best. DJ Andrea,
