The Living Widgets Global Supply Network project is a consortium-based effort to integrate all global supply networks into a single entity. A 10-year project, now in the first of 3 phases, the Living Widgets Global Supply Network will transform e-commerce in the same way that RSS feeds are transforming the publishing and broadcast industries. RSS feeds let any individual post content to the World Wide Web for computers to automatically read and present to the world. It is a form of publishing or broadcasting that is very much like what used to only be available to television and radio stations and newspaper and magazine publishers.
Living Widgets will automate a variety of purchasing and selling operations for members of a supply network, and hook them into the global marketplace. As the tools evolve, even the smallest of businesses will be able to access these sophisticated tools, including comprehensive supply network management, auctions, and reverse auctions. Companies using powerful tools like SAP and Ariba will be able to interface with a much larger network of suppliers and customers.
