International Commercial Networks (i.e., Automotive Network Exchange, Covisint, etc.)
http://www.anx.com
- The Automotive Network Exchange (ANX) changed from a committee of the Automotive Industry Action Group to a commercial entity run by SAIC.
- Covisint was set up as a separate commercial group by the automakers, but which encourages the use of the ANX .
- Companies participating in the ANX .
Trading Exchanges
- Several attempts at facilitating trades within industry groups were established in the late 1990s, but failed to generate the volume of business anticipated.
- Auctions, reverse auctions, application service providers and several variations of trade facilitation mostly failed to meet revenue expectations
- In the early 2000s, enterprise software emerged incorporating some of the better ideas of exchanges.
- The telecommunications failures of the early 2000s may have constrained the the growth of enterprise software and reduced demand for interoperable software. This may improve when the economy improves.
