·
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.
