Had lunch with Jon Razza before my interview with Liaison in the afternoon. It went as well as it could have, I suppose. Though their website is fully buzzword compliant, the small business is essentially an integrator for real-time message passing between businesses (B2B) using J2EE and XML in conjunction with other proprietary technologies, such as webMethods. These tools are then utilitized to ultimately form a common Data Exchange Protocol (DXP), and provide an alternative to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI, ASC X12), an older B2B electronic commerce technology from the 1970s and 1980s.

I met with Juan, Sanjay, Luke, and David to have dinner at Don Pablo’s before heading to the AMC Parkway to see Troy. Good stuff.
