Forthcoming BASDA event – a must attend event for software vendors

BASDA is the Business Application Software Developers Association based in the UK, which represents almost 200 of the world’s leading business software vendors including Causeway Technologies. BASDA works with governments and policy-making groups in the UK, Europe and worldwide. In early 2000’s BASDA came up with ebis-XML standard for exchange of structured documents between organisations. ebdex standardised ebis-XML as its internal standard. These days, number of accounting software vendors has ability to exchange documents with other applications using ebis-XML, e.g. Sage Transaction E-mail. BASDA events are great opportunities to build relationships. Good example been meeting Phil Brown (CEO of Causeway Technologies) at my first BASDA CEO summit. This is when Phil offered me the opportunity to resell Tradex as a white labelled hub instead of developing ebdex Document Exchange from scratch. With hindsight, I know what I would do now if the same offer was made.
