Focus of Parts Supply
AIAG strategic B2B technologies:
“OAGIS BODs & ebXML” in action
• Non-Proprietary Standards with Wide Industry and Vendor Community Support
• Implemented by solution providers that know needs and characteristics Auto Industry
• Technologies ready for deployment -- being used by your peers
• Its easier than you think
Auto-Tech 2003
Key ebXML concepts
• Messaging Layer - securely moves the actual XML data between trading partners [ebMS]
• Business Processes - defined as models in UMM, scripted in XML [BPSS]
• Business Messages - OAGIS BODs, exchanged using ebMS
• Trading Partner Agreement - specifies parameters for businesses to interface with each other, expressed in XML [CPP/CPA]
• Core components - library of pre-defined business vocabulary artifacts
• Collaboration Registry - Provides a “container” for process models, vocabularies, assembly templates, partner profiles & discovery.
Family of B2B specifications facilitating world wide, B2B collaboration by Large Companies & SME suppliers

Current Environment
This is repeated industry, by industry……..
Suppliers are thereby forced to
accommodate multiple redundant
“standards”
Customers often mandate their own
“company standards” and protocols ontheir suppliers

B2B Challenge
Auto-Tech 2003
Show: B2B from Customer to Supplier
• Standards based technologies enable easy interoperability between companies
• Open Applications Group BODs and ebXML provide a rigorous framework for XML deployment
• Products are available from many providers at different price /function points
• ebXML can be applied piece by piece• Web Services and ebXML are complementary • Vendor implementations [products] allow users
to treat technology as a "black box" functional solution that can be deployed with modest effort

Nissan Legacy System Integration
Problem• Multiple Dealership
Network Topologies complicate DMS to OEM Integration
• Legacy System Integration Required
• Need one architecture design that will Scale for:
– Short term transition needed today for Dial-up replacement
– Long term strategy for the next generation DCS
• Most dealers do not have a static IP address

Trading Partner
Spare Parts supply shows ebXML, Web Services, various global versions of EDI and other protocols in action – in a way that makes it simpler and less costly to do business.A single connection to Covisint can buffer Trading Partners from the myriad of standards and options forced upon suppliers who must comply with OEM requirements for electronic commerce. Covisint assumes the burden and risk associated with transporting data, maintaining customer-specific maps and data translations while preserving your existing business system investment. This allows trading partners to concentrate on manufacturing and delivering the right product at the right price, on time.
