Extensible Markup Language (XML) made its entry in the late 1990s, but will it deliver real strategic value to businesses? Applying Norman’s and Christensen’s technology s-curve, XML-related technologies are currently crossing the transition point, moving from an originally technology-driven product to predominately customer-driven, characterized by a more human-centered product and/or service. A few application areas are developed based on XML technology to satisfy the changing business needs. Companies and organizations will continue to benefit in an ever-increasing fashion from adopting these technologies as these XML-related technologies grow and develop in response to the ever-changing demands of businesses.
