Lawrenceville, NJ (Vocus) May 14, 2007 -- RosettaNet, the not-for-profit organization that develops global supply chain standards for the high technology and adjacent industries, announced that it will hold its Global Community Summit June 3-7 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. RosettaNet is a consortium of the world's leading high technology companies that create and implement industry-wide business process standards that are used by over 1,200 companies with over $1 trillion in combined annual revenue. RosettaNet is a subsidiary of GS1 US™, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the adoption and implementation of standards-based, global supply chain solutions.



"Improving trading partner collaboration is critical in the high tech sector because products are sourced globally and companies and their suppliers need to work together seamlessly to transact commerce with speed and precision," said Herman Stiphout, the President of RosettaNet. "Because RosettaNet provides these companies with a strong foundation of standards, the Global Community Summit provides users and prospective users with the opportunity to get educated and updated so they can maximize the value of RosettaNet in their own supply chains."

The week-long event will bring together supply chain professionals from some of the world's best-known high technology companies to provide updates and best practices on the use of RosettaNet standards in their global trading networks. A partial list of registered participating companies include: Amkor Technology; Arrow Electronics; Avago Technologies; Cisco Systems; DHL; Ericsson; Hewlett Packard; IBM; Intel; Marvell Semiconductor; Motorola; National Semiconductor; NEDA; Nokia; Otsuka Corporation; Samsung Electronics Semiconductor; Seagate Technology; Shinko; Siltronic; Sony Corporation; STMicroelectronics; Toshiba; and webMethods.

The event will feature a Computer and Consumer Electronics/Electronic Product Code (EPC) working group, a Global Partner and Champions Forum, and meetings of the organization's five key user Councils: the Electronic Components Council; the Semiconductor Manufacturing Council; the Telecommunications Council; the Logistics Council; and the Solution Provider Council. In addition, the Summit will offer a two-day training session entitled "Understanding and Implementing RosettaNet Business Process Standards." The course will provide attendees a comprehensive overview of RosettaNet standards, its technical components and architecture, and guidelines to assist companies on implementing RosettaNet standards for their own supply chain processes.
