“BISG is the only neutral, industry-wide
forum to discuss common concerns.”
-
“BISG has become the most important trade
association serving the publishing value chain. The issues that will
significantly affect the future of publishing are the cross-business
issues that involved publishers, printers, retailers, et al. Standards
are critical.”
-
“We thank you for beginning to give a
voice to the independent publishing community, which has different
needs from the large publishers primarily based in New York. We hope
you continue to reach out to this segment of the industry and address
concerns that are specific to them.”
-
“The work that BISG does in either
establishing communications standards, or dealing with industry
issues, or just bringing industry players from here and abroad
together to discuss and act on common issues, helps us in the
marketplace. It helps everyone in the marketplace.”
-
“We wish to continue to improve the
efficiency of our operations and BISG provides a means for us to work
with our trading partners on this goal shared by all companies.”
-
“My company supports BISG as a developer
of standards which are useful in the business. We also want to be a
'good citizen.' We are active in committees in order to be on the
developmental forefront and influencer of the standards and policies
that are being developed.”
-
“As a company we take advantage of much
of what BISG has to offer, from ISBN-13 information to Data
Transmission and EDI standards. I am sure that my company would like
to become more involved in BISG's committees and discussions and
generally sees BISG as a valuable industry resource.”
-
“We look forward to continued
collaboration with the US standards creations groups to
support/elaborate and develop standards for the North American market.
We will continue to disseminate widely the surveys and information
that BISG puts together into the Canadian market and provide feedback
to BISG.”
-
“The committees are where most of the
important work of BISG is done. They are the heart of the
organization. The good work that has been done for the past few years
has, for the most part, been done in the committees. Recruiting and
retaining good committee members and chairs is vital to BISG and the
industry.”
