9. WHY IS EDI SO DIFFICULT FOR COMPANIES?
Standardization - there’s many different forms of EDI (Edifact,
ANSI, X12, XML, etc.)
Some companies require it, some don’t, some encourage it,
etc. so should my organization invest or resist?
Financial ramifications – charge backs, vendor score carding,
and potential loss of business from a trading partner
Investment – it’s not secret, EDI is expensive, it requires
hardware, software, personnel, and expertise
No wonder organizations struggle with EDI!
