EDI - Electronic Data Interchange Module |
 |
Integrate processes and data from internal and external sources
Achieving full process automation with EDI
Businesses have long had the goal of enabling
automated data transfer procedures either internally or
to and from external entities. Initial solutions towards
this goal were first attempted in the 1960s. Since
then, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) technology has
been in common use, and continues to significantly
contribute to the globalization of businesses.
Although there have been considerable efforts to
standardize electronic data interchange for data
formats and protocols, there still exists multiple
standards for EDI data transfers, depending on country
and business domain.
Supporting varied standards and protocols
The CANIAS ERP EDI module supports most EDI
standards commonly used such as EDIFACT/EANCOM,
X12, VDA as well as various XML based standards
including OpenTrans and UBL. Additionally, it is easy to
define new and company specific protocols. Data
interchange can be performed through many transport
methods such as Web Services, e-mail, FTP, and SQL,
and these can all be manually or automatically
performed.
CANIAS EDI also supports popular transfer protocols
such as X.400, OFTP, FTAM and Internet related
protocols such as SMTP, HTTP, and AS1-3.
Using monitoring capabilities within the CANIAS ERP EDI module, EDI transactions can be quickly reviewed.
Related fields allow display of protocol lists being
used. Drill-down facilities enable access to user
documents, protocol types, document status, sender
and receiver addresses as well as prior status of
documents.
Successful e-business with EDI
The Internet era has considerably changed electronic
data interchange and new technologies for business
have been developed, such as e-commerce, B2B
commerce and web services. You can rapidly take your
place in e-business world with the CANIAS ERP
Electronic Data Interchange module.
You can perform your data communication using
generally accepted and commonly used standards, and perform data interchange with your customers,
suppliers, dealers, service providers, B2B portals and
banking institutions that use such standards.
For organizations with multiple branches, the EDI
module serves to implement a communication
infrastructure among dispersed locations, allowing
automated processing to take place within corporation.
Due to the architecture of the system that enables
mandatory usage, related costs can be distributed
accurately within the organization and therefore an
internal cost allocation is also possible.
Consistent communication; new perspectives
Rapid data transfers ultimately result in accelerated
e-commerce in today's globalized markets. The faster
the information arrives at the recipient, the faster
businesses can be transacted. The high integration of
electronic communication also reduces errors to a
minimum. EDI opens up new markets to businesses
while increasing productivity.
Efficient and Systematic data integration
The CANIAS ERP EDI Module is easy to use and gives
boost to efficiency and data verification. Processes
within the organization or available in other entities can
be transferred to electronic media and for enhanced
efficiency. New processes, which are expensive to implement using conventional methods, can easily be
realized with using EDI.
EDI for cost effectiveness
EDI minimizes costs associated with conventional
media-based data transfers and increases customer
satisfaction by shortening the time involved in transfer
of data.
The CANIAS ERP EDI Module is the most economical
method for achieving EDI functionality, since
investment in additional third-party EDI software and
expensive protocols will not be required; the CANIAS
ERP EDI module contains the widely used standard
protocols.
Full enterprise-wide integration allows the CANIAS EDI
module to function in tandem with the rest of the ERP
system modules, resulting in accelerated processes,
decreased costs and competitive advantages across
the enterprise.
