WHAT IS EDI? IT SOUNDS SIMPLE…
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is defined as the structured transmission of data betweenorganizations by electronic means. It is used to transfer electronic business documents suchas Purchase Orders, Invoices, Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs), and many more from onecomputer system to another, i.e. from one trading partner to another trading partner.

LET’S START AT THE BASICS
EDI is not an out of the box solution.
Whether your organization is implementing EDI on your own terms to introduce best business practice or you are implementing EDI to meet a Trading Partners requirement's, the following must be considered:
• EDI Standards (X12, EDIFACT, XML….)• EDI Communication Protocols (VAN, AS2, FTP…)• Integration with ERP or Accounting Software Protocols

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
Protocols are the communication methods used to transfer the EDI data between trading partners. Some of the most popular communication protocols include:
• VAN: A value-added network (VAN) is a private network provider (sometimes called a turnkey communications line) that is hired by a company to facilitate electronic data interchange (EDI)
• AS2: Applicability Statement 2(AS2) is a specification about how to transport data securely and reliably over the Internet. Security is achieved by using digital certificates and encryption
• FTP/sFTP: The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet

EDI INTEGRATION
Your organization must decide whether you want to integrate your EDI solution with your ERP/ Accounting Software or you want a ‘Stand Alone’ web-based portal solution.
Full integration will remove the need to re-key data, thus in turn reducing errors and overhead.

5 TIPS - PREPARING FOR EDI
1. DETERMINE WHERE YOUR ORGANIZATION LIES IN THE
SUPPLY CHAIN.
• Is your organization an ‘Initiator’ or ‘Responder’.
• In other words are you implementing EDI on your
own terms to help improve your overall business
processes (‘Initiator’) or are you responding to a
request from large customers who require you to
become EDI compliant.

2. PUT IN PLACE A DEDICATED PROJECT TEAM.
• A dedicated project team is needed to determine your objectives.
• Assign a dedicated Project Manager to own and oversee the project.
• Have full buy in from Senior Management and C-Level Executives.
• Make sure to have a good communications process between
Operations and Accounting Teams.

3. COMMUNICATE WITH TRADING PARTNERS.
• Ensure your trading partners have full commitment. Ask for a copy
of your trading partners agreement and find out which EDI
standards (X12, EDIFACT, Tradacoms, Odette, etc.), transaction sets
(850, 810, 846, 856, 997, etc.) and communication protocols (VAN,
FTP, AS2, etc.) they will require.
• Try to get a designated point of contact in your Trading Partner
team.

4. USE FIRST IMPLEMENTATION AS A PILOT PROJECT AND THEREAFTER A
STEPPED APPROACH.
• If you have many trading partners to communicate thru EDI, use
your first implementation as a pilot project.
• You can tweak and make improvements to as you move forward.
• Many organizations make the mistake of trying to add too many
trading partners at once.

PREPARING FOR EDI
5. ‘IN-HOUSE’ OR ‘OUTSOURCED’ EDI
• At this stage you need to determine if you have the internal capabilities
and resources to successfully implement your own EDI department or do
you outsource your EDI requirements to a 3rd party EDI provider?
• A 3rd party EDI provider will act as your own EDI department and will take
away the hassle, constraints and complexities of using EDI with many
trading partners.
