At a minimum, you will need:
- Translation software that is used to translate EDI data to a company’s proprietary format and vice versa.
- Communications software that is necessary to add appropriate protocols to the EDI document in preparation for transmission over telecommunications networks.
- Decide if you will be exchanging your EDI data over the Internet using AS1 or AS2 (preferred), or through a VAN (Value Added Network).
You will need to determine how you want to enable EDI at your company.
Two possible choices are:
- Design and implement your own EDI program at your company.
- Use the services of a 3rd party EDI provider such as a VAN, ADX, True Commerce, etc.
