Pranke Consulting - EDI Information Center
For most people, EDI
either is
something very strange and mysterious or they regard it as a
simple thing expecting that strict rules govern the whole area and they
only have to apply these rules. Both extrems are wrong. Unfortunately,
politics is involved in the topic. Therefore no general applicable
rules
were possible. But accepting this and looking for the facts, the world
of EDI is understandable to a certain degree. There are players who try
to act along reasonable standards. There are players that apply their
own rules being strong enough to enforce them. And there are finally
some
players trying to set up their own rules without having the approriate
power and the necessary knowledge to do so.
The first group is nice.
You can handle them easily and it will be a productive collaboration.
The second group takes more effort, but can be handled, too. The third
group, if you do not have strong reasons not to do so, should be
ignored best.
On the pages of this
area,
we will give you a guideance through the labyrinth of EDI by providing
information about the technical features, the standards and the
sectorial usage in LifeStyle and some other selected industries.
As change is the only constant factor, this area will be under
permanent construction. Therefore discover it new as often as you like.
