B2B Customer Relationships: Taking them Online—Securely
Robert Corson, Senior Strategist, B2B Markets, Entrust Technologies
Today, businesses typically use paper and fax forms of purchase orders, receipts, bills of lading and invoices to achieve accountability and trust in online Business-to-Business (B2B) sales and transactions. In order for B2B to grow, auditable, electronic versions of these processes are required to achieve business efficiencies and to satisfy fiscal and legal requirements. In order to provide the accountability, auditing and integrity that will speed the ability to establish online B2B relationships, organizations are turning to digital certificates and public-key infrastructures (PKI) to help them. Find out more in this session.

Building Better User Interfaces for E-Commerce Applications
Steve Francis, Vice President, Product Development, ActionPoint
While computing technologies enable Internet-base electronic commerce, it's people—buyers, sellers, partners, competitors—who actually drive commerce interactions. This means that a company's e-commerce environment must accommodate two kinds of connections: those that connect one computer system or application to another, either internally or externally; and those that connect people with processing such as submitting an RFQ to a marketplace or tracking an order through fulfillment. To date, companies have focused primarily on the first type of connections, using integration and process automation technology. This session presents solutions that allow people to interact efficiently and effectively with computerized business processes.
