30-Mar-2001

Envera™ announced today that through participation with the Chemical Industry Data Exchange, CIDX eStandards effort, all Envera trading member companies will be CIDX compliant by April. Envera is the leading global electronic network for chemical and petrochemical industry B2B transactions and services, with chemical companies connected together via their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Envera members have been sending and receiving transaction data such as purchase orders, order acknowledgements and related documents via extensible mark-up language, XML, since October, 2000. “Envera’s early efforts in Extensible Markup Language, XML standards, helped set the pace for the chemical industry effort undertaken by CIDX”, said Bob Mooney, CEO of Envera. “Envera was featured on a national business television program in January on XML standards pace-setters throughout the world.” Envera continues to work with CIDX to further the standards effort. “We were happy to share our eBusiness standards effort with CIDX, and quite pleased by CIDX’s efforts for setting standards in the chemicals Industry”, stated Mason Moore, VP of Information Technology for Envera. “It is certainly gratifying to see the chemical industry coming together on the issue of XML standards,” stated Johnnie Foster, CIO of Solutia, an Envera trading member. “ A common set of industry accepted XML standards is essential to creating the cost effective exchange models to enable the bottom line benefits we’re all expecting.” Envera’s member companies work closely together and many participate on CIDX’s committees. Efforts, including dry van and bulk logistics, rail fleet management, and financial services, are underway to involve the standards with many of the service providers to Envera’s member companies, which includes Envera’s newest equity member, Enron.
