B2B E-Commerce Marketplace

CASE STUDY: www.CommerceOne.com sells software that helps companies integrate applications and conduct B2B e-commerce. They have been so successful, that Commerce One's proprietary B2B e-commerce XML standard (cXML) has become a defacto standard for B2B e-commerce. The critical mass companies that has implemented cXML means that each new company that buys into this "standard" can immediately conduct e-commerce business with all other companies. Thus, Commerce One has created a digital marketplace based upon wide adoption of  their  cXML standard for interoperability among information systems.
