8. Benefits
Improves Accuracy :
Data Exchanger eliminates the need for copying data from one
paper document to another, or for keying the data into a
business application screen.
Every time data is transferred, there is opportunity for error to
be introduced to the process.
For example, in the typical manual purchase order, a person
enters or copies information from the paper form at least once.
