McGraw-Hill will be one of the first large publishers to integrate XBITS into its supply chain solution, according to Brian Sharlach, McGraw-Hill's director of manufacturing systems and e-commerce. Sharlach—who also helped to develop XBITS and chaired a session at the 2004 BookTech Conference & Expo earlier this year on XBITS' impact on the supply chain (where Degener was a panelist)— says existing EDI solutions are outgrowing their usefulness. While EDI was a novel concept in its time, Sharlach says using proprietary data schemes and networks are not cost competitive with conducting transactions over the Internet using XML standards.
