What Is EDI ?
“…Short for Electronic Data Interchange, the
transfer of data between different companies
using networks, such as the Internet. As more
and more companies get connected to the
Internet, EDI is becoming increasingly important
as an easy mechanism for companies to buy, sell,
and trade information. ANSI has approved a set
of EDI standards known as the X12 standards.
