Media Release: Supporting Better Business with Open Standards

Document Engineering Services is an international consortium of experts supporting universal business interoperability through the use of open standards.

SystML provides a range of forms for simple online and offline creation of UBL electronic business documents in English, Spanish, and Italian. These forms use W3C XForms CSS 3 technologies and therefore require a suitably enabled browser such as Firefox with the XForms extension (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/download.html).
