Industry Segments Initial focus on Publishing Paper, Fine Paper and Packaging Paper Pulp segment embraced in 2001 papiNet has begun the process of expanding outside its current domain -Wood products segment underway -Book publishers segment underway -Recovered paper industry segment starting -Label Stock segment starting -Logistics XML standards initiative launched

Transportation papiNet launched an initiative to develop a set of XML Business Transactions to support Transport and Logistics processes in the Paper and Forest Products Industry 12 November 2002

papiNet Transport 1.Engage the CIDX standards group in the enhancement of their transport and logistics messages to incorporate paper and forest products industry requirements. 2.Initial pilot of one message – Shipment Status – for Q Explore the opportunities to participate with CIDX Convergence and Partnering group in monitoring the XML global cross industry standards landscape papiNet will engage the CIDX standards group to further our common objectives in transportation and logistics message standards.

Background In 2001, an investigation of the transport electronic message standard landscape. Fragmented and disorganized industry with pockets of independent activity Enthusiasm for and recognition of the need for a single global cross-industry transport and logistics electronic business message standard No comprehensive Transport Industry initiative underway. Too many -proprietary messages standards, -too many independent standards being developed, and -too much reliance on 30 year old EDI messages

Background Highly desirable that such messages be cross industry, as well as global, i.e. not just for paper. The goal of engaging the transport and logistics standards arena is to fill a gap in our ability to business in a common way electronically The need for a single Transport Industry initiative is well recognized by transport providers, but Transport Industry organizations are not “doing anything”

Scope No message development by papiNet Concentrate on the major business functions between Shipper, Carrier, and Customer/Consignee (e.g., Shipment Status, Load Tender, Load Tender Response, Freight Bill). The initiative should consider all Forest and Paper Industry requirements. Utilize existing papiNet messages where appropriate for business processes Out of scope: -Customs -Air Shipments

Issues and Challenges “Standards wars” Core Components Globalization of the standard Capabilities of Trading Partners Reluctance to re-engineer processes Trading Partner relationships Myths and Rumors
