EDI Standards

EDI standards have evolved considerably since the early days when electronic data interchange was mostly for financial forms. Today a variety of businesses use EDI standards to communicate deep and nuanced data sets, from customer information and credit ratings to medical histories, purchase patterns, shipping data and more. The result is that American corporate oversight committees have developed a number of sophisticated and detailed EDI message formats to handle far more situations than ever before.

Understanding how to navigate the new standards is easier than you may imagine, though it's not unusual for small businesses to report growing pains with the formats. Widely adopted protocols such as RFC 3335 and AS3 tend to require their own syntax, and a number of newer standards demand specific accounting practices and spreadsheets to work. The good news is that you should be able to join the conversation easily if you avail yourself of professional EDI services.
