GXS recognises that leadership in deploying and managing business-to-business (B2B) solutions requires leadership in standards organisations, in areas such as vertical industries and technical standards. Many of these organisations also offer test and certification programs which demonstrate that clients experience the fastest "time to production" with predictable results.

GXS participates in an array of organisations for industries such as Automotive, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), General Manufacturing, Grocery, High Tech and Retailing. These high-traction industry vertical associations provide guidance, open standards, best practices and industry-specific content expertise to help B2B implementations take shape for you and your community. GXS is prepared with products, services and community initiatives to make your supply-chain enablement activities “accelerate your advantage.”
