Hi Stu,
I got this from a SourceForge.net email list and thought it might be
interesting to you:
BIE is a Java based 'Business Integration Engine' that is designed to
help organizations exchange data created in different applications on
various platforms with partners, suppliers, and customers in order to
streamline processes and improve efficiency.
Brunswick essentially built the enterprise software in-house for their
own needs to transfer data between themselves and their large installed
base of dealers. Last week, they released the software under the GPL
to not only give back to the community that has helped them a great
deal but also to increase the level of development and usage of the
software.
Given that Brunswick is a large public company, it will be an
interesting project to watch. It very well may prove to be an excellent
success story for other corporations thinking about getting involved
with the development of Open Source software. You can view the project
here:

Regards,
Adrian
