This document discusses electronic data interchange (EDI), which allows for the transfer of data between computer systems without human intervention through standardized formatting. It works by arranging data elements like prices and product numbers separated by delimiters into messages. EDI provides benefits like reduced costs, increased accuracy, improved efficiency and speed by freeing up staff time. However, it also faces disadvantages like difficulties with non-standardized systems, security issues, and the need for specialist onboarding. The future of EDI depends on adapting to new technologies like cloud computing to overcome current challenges.

represents a singular fact, such as a price, product model number,
and so forth, separated by delimiter

partners
EDI via VAN or EDI network services provider, It is a secure
network where documents are transmitted between business
partners

7. FUTURE OF EDI
“ With new technologies such as CLOUDS
emerging, EDI needs to adapt to all the
new evolutions in technology to
overcome the challenges it faces today.
If things continue to stay the same EDI
may be forced to extinction. “
