EDI Orion on Invex: How to manage ERP system integration with EDI?

2nd October 2008 – The possible obstacles of EDI integration into a company's information system and the benefits of use of the EDI Orion® solution will be revealed to the visitors of the Invex fair. On Mondays programme you will find the CCV Information systems presentation on that very topic. It is the problems and advantages of EDI that constitute the theme of the first day of the Invex ERP forum conference.

Electronic data interchange (EDI) and information systems, that is the name of the presentation block on Monday 6th October (first day of the professionals' part of the fair), in which Petr Kuchař, member of the committee of ABRA Software and the leader of the working group for data standards of electronic invoicing in the SPIS association, and expert on EDI communication David Reichel, manager of the eBusiness section of CCV Information systems, which is amongst the absolute leaders in the domain of EDI services provision on the Czech market, and is a major partner of the conference, will present the view of ERP system providers.

This event on INVEX is an opportunity for the meeting of and exchange of information in the greater community of experts and advanced users of EDI solutions. More and more producers of ERP systems is convinced by the advantages of integration with a provider of a ex EDI service, which ensures operation of an EDI module through outsourcing, such as in the advanced EDI ORION® solution on the Czech market.

"If the provider discusses thoroughly the potential challenges and complexities of EDI implementation, with the producer or implementator of the ERP system, using his qualified knowledge, and then pays special attention to the general criteria required by the client in the consequent testing, the results of such implementation will become generally applicable. The main advantage is then the fact that any further expansion of the existing communication onto new partners will not generally result in any intervention with the ERP system, as everything is already ensured by the provider of the EDI service, including various customizations." says David Reichel.

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) communication implementation between suppliers and customers is especially in trading companies today, regarded as generally required standard. Therefore even the EDI solution of a given information system can be an important criterion namely for the retail chain suppliers, when choosing a new information system, as well as an argument for replacing the existing one. More information about EDI can be found on the information portal (www.edizone.cz), the content of which is composed by the customers and partners of the EDI Orion® solution themsleves.
