EDI's New Wave - Posted 8/21/2007
Remember when EDI used to be simple?   You did a few 850's, sent out a couple of 810's, maybe even an 856 with one of your more daring trading partners, and you were a hero. 

Not much has stayed the way it was ten years ago, however, and EDI is no exception.  The problem is everyone keeps raising the bar and pretty soon the old standbys are just not enough.  But what are the new darlings of the EDI world?  What are the bench mark documents that you simply have to be doing to be somebody, anybody?    (read more and comments)

 

EDI - Does it Still Make Sense? - Posted 7/11/2007
Are you running EDI?  Can’t do business without it, can you?  Or perhaps you are just thinking about doing it.  Everybody tells you that you need to but you still can’t help but wonder - Is it worth it?  Does EDI still make sense in an era of websites and portals?

EDI & SOX - Posted 6/12/2007
EDI has always posed a special challenge in Sox audits.  Part of this is because the Visual Mapper makes it so easy to modify maps and UFD’s.  Generally this work is done by a  non-IT person, and because it can be done in just a few moments, it often escapes the more formal notice of the IT Change Management System.  On top of that, you have the black box nature of  Trusted Link.  We get used to not thinking about EDMAST or any of the other files that make the system work and that is nice and comfortable, but it also keeps us from being concerned about auditing the changes to the files that are actually being updated by the Visual Mapper.  The end result is that many IT departments tend to gloss over Trusted Link when it is time to do an audit, gloss over it in a way that they would not for a regular RPG application.  And TLi let you do that, it encouraged you to think of it truly as a black box.  But that is starting to change.     (read more and comments)
