Outsource Your EDI

Over 80,000 companies now use EDI for electronically exchanging business documents with their suppliers and customers. Many now require their trading partners to be EDI compliant as a condition for:

• doing business with them
• for taking a business relationship to the "next level"
• for getting paid more quickly
• for considering a new vendor application

EDI capability is complex and time consuming. Each of the following components is needed if you choose to implement EDI capability in-house:

• Special EDI software to send and receive EDI transactions and support mapping
• Staff or consultants to install and later upgrade the software
• Staff or consultant experts to translate and map EDI documents into a useable form using the EDI software
• Staff or consultant experts to set up and test EDI transactions with your trading partners to become EDI certified with them
• Staff or consultants experts to oversee EDI transactions, upgrade maps as trading partner requirements change, and fix any issues that arise
• Training for users on how to process EDI transactions
• Hardware on which to run the software
• VAN (Value Added Network) capability and specialized communication software and hardware to handle transportation of EDI transactions to and from trading partners.

Truly effective EDI capability is an ongoing process, not a project. It requires knowledge, experience, continued upgrades as trading partner requirements change, and constant over site.
