This document outlines the STEP workshop held on January 25, 2000, from the perspective of JPL's CIO, Tom Renfrow. It highlights the significance of STEP in facilitating information interchange and understanding among JPL and its partners. The framework's open standards, extensibility, and support from various working groups (such as PDES Inc. and NASA PDE) make it a valuable tool. The workshop provided opportunities for JPL project managers and engineers to explore STEP's applicability through real-world examples, fostering links between JPL's specific needs and external capabilities.
