Julie,
Do you know by any chance what software they are going to use to do XML translation, etc.? I went up and down their site and did not find any direct references, but some places they mention Mercator. Is your company going to buy it or go with PowerEnterprise? As far as I know PeopleSoft only does 'business document' which needs to be processed by 'PeopleSoft's partner' software. For rel. 6 and 7 it was Harbinger or Gentran, now they list Mercator. They also mentioned that Mercator will provide inter-company communications because they are done over Intranet, i.e. Internet technology will be employed there too.
We are going to upgrade to PeopleSoft 8 in the beginning of 2002.

PeopleSoft Adopts RosettaNet XML Standard for Industry-Wide Electronic Business Interfaces
Pleasanton, Calif. ¯February 15, 2000¯ PeopleSoft today announced that it has joined RosettaNet, a consortium that develops and deploys XML-based standard electronic business interfaces, as a solution partner.
The RosettaNet partnership marks PeopleSoft's support of Internet communication standards, and further demonstrates PeopleSoft's commitment to providing industry-leading collaborative eBusiness solutions.
PeopleSoft will deliver RosettaNet compliant XML messages for release 7.5 in mid-year of 2000. As a result, customers using PeopleSoft's supply chain management applications will benefit from a "plug and play" solution for Internet collaboration.
"Internet-based business communication can only add value when both parties speak the same language," said John Webb, PeopleSoft's VP of Supply Chain Product Management. "PeopleSoft supports RosettaNet's goal of bridging the Internet communication gap through the development of a common data language."
With the most flexible supply chain solutions on the market, PeopleSoft XML-based application messaging will provide enhanced system communications. With RosettaNet compliant XML-based applications, enterprises using PeopleSoft Supply Chain will benefit from a common business interface, enabling more efficient eBusiness processes, production planning, channel allocation and cost savings.
RosettaNet addresses the need for standard business interfaces. The consortium focuses on building a master dictionary to define properties for products, partners, and business transactions. This master dictionary, coupled with an established implementation framework (exchange protocols), is used to support the eBusiness dialog known as the Partner Interface Process or PIP. Through RosettaNet PIPs, new areas of alignment are created for PeopleSoft customers within the overall IT supply-chain eBusiness processes, allowing IT supply-chain partners to scale eBusiness, and to fully leverage e-commerce applications and the Internet as a business-to-business commerce tool.
