  Since 1996, it has been managed by William M. Adams, who founded G5 Technologies in 1999 to expand the application of virtual corporation collaborative commerce using proprietary management systems validated in the operation of Agile Web.
  
  Agile Web has been hailed as the nation's first commercially-successful virtual corporation, and the source of significant economic impact on its participating member companies and their communities in northeastern Pennsylvania.

  It does this by breaking down a market opportunity into separate parts , and then using specialized agent technology that uses the Extensible Markup Language to automatically match opportunities with resources , says Bill Adams , chief executive officer of G5.
  
  Once the opportunity is characterized , VEB reaches into the supply chain through XML style sheets and actually builds virtual solution sets , says Adams.The system can identify the correct mix of manufacturers and processes for different purposes , such as to build a product in the least amount of time for the lowest price , or to ramp up production as quickly as possible from two units to 10 or 100 most quickly , says Adams.
  
  In the past a contract manufacturer might say we can build that for you in three months , but the customer would just have to wait for it , notes Manley.But today the customers don't want to wait , he says.As small manufacturers , we all need to find ways to be more agile or flexible in order to bring the right amount of resources to bear on a project , to deliver it when the customer expects to have it , not when we would like to deliver it..
  
  Another Agile Web customer , Dirigo Energy Inc. , Hershey , Pa. , utilized G5's technology and the Agile Web to test-market portable power generators ranging in size from 750 kilowatts to 1 megawatt.Unlike a large provider of power generation units , the relatively small Dirigo only needed two initial units for demonstration purposes.
  
  It would cost 15 to 20 million dollars and at least two years to build a portable power generation unit factory just to create those first two units , says Adams.Instead , manufacturers like Jade and Global MetalForm , Scranton , Pa. , which makes custom sheet metal products , can work extra pieces into their production schedules to meet Dirigo's needs.If Dirigo's demand forecasts prove correct , it hopes to sell 200 generators per year.
  
  G5 utilizes a range of collaborative electronic commerce technologies , including off-the-shelf products like Domino.Doc from Lotus Development Corp. , an IBM subsidiary , and custom products such as G5's new digital notary software that allows companies to notarize contracts and bills of lading directly over the Internet.Powering Home Depot.
  
  ...
  Dirigo's business plan , which still faces regulatory hurdles , would have a large retailer like Home Depot agree to buy power from it for a fixed cost over 10 years ; Dirigo , which owns the generators , would sell any unused power back to the grid , says Adams.
  
  In theory , the benefit to California's power grid is two- fold : Home Depot no longer gets its power from the grid , while Dirigo increases capacity through the sale of excess power.
  
  An e-marketplace by definition should be a hub of collaboration , where buying and selling supply chains meet to do more than just buy and sell products at the lowest price.But as many emerging e- marketplaces like Transora are learning , getting companies to sign up for an e-marketplace is the easy part.The hard part is getting them to actively participate.

  Agile Web - G5 Technologies - History - [Cached Version]

  In 1996, as the TRP program was nearing completion, Bill Adams was brought on-board as the President and CEO of Agile Web Inc. and was tasked to transform the corporation into a profit making entity.Until 1996, Agile Web Inc. was still mainly a research project funded by the TRP program.
  
  From 1996 to 1999, Bill Adams implemented his own version of the Agile Virtual Enterprise business model and systematically created a set of operating processes and procedures now known as the Virtual Corporation Management SystemÔ(VCMSÔ) solution . These processes allowed the Agile Web to not only operate in a highly collaborative manner, but created a revolutionary new channel to market for many of the participating companies.The combinations of the revolutionary VCMSÔ solution, and the learning to date on the Agile Virtual Enterprise business model, allowed the Agile Web to transform into a profitable operation with over $50M in orders in 1999.
  
  In 1999, Bill Adams left Agile Web to create G5 Technologies Inc., a new and revolutionary company whose main charter was to take the newly developed Virtual Corporation Management System Ô solution into vastly different markets and geographic regions.

  The ID card gives a sense of the full potential value of Wi-Fi in a system like this, according to Bill Adams, CEO of G5 Technologies of Cherry Hill, N.J., which is serving as prime contractor and systems integrator on the project.
  
  There are the obvious advantages to wireless, such as the scalability and flexibility of the system.Now take it a step further: Suppose an intruder is approaching the terminal with an invalid ID card, or with no ID card.A wired system will not detect his presence until he is literally at the door -- potentially too late to mount a defense.Wi-Fi on the other hand can pick up the signal off the card at more than 100 feet away, giving the system time to alert security personnel of a potential incursion.
  
  "If people are rushing doors or something unusual is happening, we will be able to detect that earlier," said Adams.
  ...
  The development team also chose Wi-Fi as its infrastructure because of its rapidly growing acceptance by makers of wireless device makers, Adams said.

  "Companies have to be able to rapidly discern the difference between friend and foe, and we've come up with the devices to do that," said Bill Adams, chief executive of G5 Technologies in Cherry Hill, N.J.
  
  Adams is installing an employee surveillance system at the Helena, Mont., airport, where workers are put on an electronic leash.Cameras, sensors and battery-powered ID cards, encoded with fingerprints, can pinpoint who's who and where they're trying to go.
  
  When the ID card beeps, employees have to press a finger against the card's built-in reader.And if they're somewhere they shouldn't be, such as a restricted tarmac or baggage-handling area, law enforcement officers swoop in.
  
  "This is not high-priced technology that's hard to implement," Adams said.
