I get many calls each month from suppliers who have been told by their customer that they need to be EDI capable. And their first question is, "What is EDI capable?"

Reprinted with permission from Liaison Technolgies. Written by Hmong Vang, Chief Trust Officer for Liaison Technologes. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Blog and photo reposted with permission from Liaison Technologies. 2016 has been an exciting year for the enterprise cloud sector. Data has become a business currency, and the world’s leading organizations continue to propel data collection and usage with their use of specialized apps in the professional realm. A couple of years ago, Baseline reported that for a typical Fortune 1000 company, just a 10% increase in data accessibility would result in more than $65 million additional net income. Since then, it’s been up to data professionals to tackle the challenge of turning data accessibility into a viable and sustainable benefit for their organizations.
The Smart Money on EDI

Picture appears courtesy of Tax Credits. This week's blog article was written by Art Douglas.

That’s the claim made by the author of an article who knows about measuring that kind of thing. I would add that in my many years in the EDI industry, I have seen many implementations that squander any possible gains by failing to find out the facts before deciding how to implement EDI.
