· Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) often becomes a change driver for an organization, which adopts it at the behest of an insistent trading partner. · To be successfully implemented, it must be viewed as part of an overall integrated solution to organizational requirements. ·
EDI improves efficiency by
integrating the data transfer within the business application for which the data
is intended. · The speed of information flow made possible by EDI can expose weaknesses in processes, which are dependent on the data being exchanged. · Creative use of EDI reduces non-value-added costs, increases the availability of working capital and improves the quality of both the data and the business processes, served by that data.
