Working Groups Report

GS1 delivers the standards that help solve business needs. This event in Cologne marked a milestone for GSMP

– it was the first Industry & Standards Event since the migration of all standards development groups to the new

GSMP Process.

This migration allows us to leverage the improved capabilities of the new GSMP Process, as well as harmonize,

simplify and integrate all GSMP activities under one umbrella thereby enabling GS1 to serve businesses better.

Cologne has demonstrated GSMP is where solutions are developed by expert users and standards

specialists from all industries.
