ODETTE 2007, Prague, CZ -- November 19, 2007 -- GXS, a leading provider of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce solutions, will address more than 500 automotive industry executives at the Odette conference to be held from November 20th to 21st at the Hilton Hotel in Prague. GXS will provide insight into next generation B2B trading platforms, how Software as a Service (SaaS) based delivery models could help companies quickly deploy global supply chain strategies and how these will differ from today's B2B environments.

  Details of the GXS session are as follows:

  Who:  Mark Morley, Director of Automotive and Industrial Marketing
  What: Where Next for B2B Trading Environments?
  When: Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 4:00 p.m. CET

  Specifically, the presentation will cover:
  -- The continuing trend for B2B outsourcing, not just from the large
     global corporations but from smaller companies looking to implement a
     company-wide B2B environment;
  -- Outsourcing trends, looking at how mid-size companies will soon be able
     to utilize B2B platforms traditionally deployed by much larger
     companies; and
  -- How automotive companies are looking to take advantage of new e
     invoicing solutions which offer full regulatory compliance across
     European member countries.
