EDI and Electronic Commerce
When we talk about electronic commerce we refer to any type of commercial transaction that is carried out through electronic means and using the various telecommunications networks available to us.
EDI is a standardized way of doing Electronic Commerce by integrating it directly into administrative systems. Electronic commerce has become an indispensable form of buying/selling in today's Information Society.
What is EDI?
The EDI system (Electronic Data Interchange) allows the automatic and structured exchange of data between computer systems through a discretionary communications network, without any manual intervention, allowing processes to be registered in the management system in a minimum time and documents to be exchanged electronically.
EDI Components
Translator and Mapper Software
It's function is to interpret the different electronic documents that we are going to exchange with the different EDI standards that we receive or send. This software allows us to automatically integrate with any ERP.
Standard Documento Format
The EDI standard tells us the information of the fields that are sent or received and we can implement our mapping for integration with our applications.
Communication Software
EDI exchanges require secure communications systems adapted to the specificities of this type of transactions. There are different options among which are Internet communication using AS2 or Value Added Networks such as IBM SCBN. It is a private communication network with high levels of security, control and monitoring to guarantee the correct sending and reception of different messages.
