With the widespread adoption of XML enterprises should finally be able to own their own information and share it with whom they want. But is it really that simple? This panel will look at all sides of the debate, peel away the political and marketing hype, and provide you with a clear understanding of the real issues so you can make your own well-informed decisions.
