THE TRUE COST OF IN-HOUSE EDI PROGRAMS

Although EDI was developed over 40 years ago as a business advantage, it has since become a necessity to do business.

The expense to maintain an in-house EDI operation can be significantly higher than you realize and may be slowing your business initiatives.

  • BUSINESS FUNCTIONS such as project management, change management, business analysis, map and integration development, and IT resources
  • EDI INFRASTRUCTURE including hardware, communications, translation software, maintenance fees, and disaster recovery
  • SUPPORT FUNCTIONS such as trading partner support, testing and certification, change events, internal functional support, and community initiatives
