Your company's computer system may already serve as a repository for data related to business functions such as purchasing, marketing, inventory management, logistics, and accounting. EDI extends the value of the investment you've made in business application software. Creating, sending, receiving, and processing EDI business documents can be automated and integrated with your existing internal computer applications.
EDI extracts information from your applications and transmits paperless, computer-readable business documents via telephone lines and other telecommunications devices. At the receiving end, the data can be fed directly into the trading partner's computer system, where it can be automatically processed and interfaced with the receiver's internal applications. All of this is accomplished in minutes, without the rekeying and paper shuffling of manual document processing.
