Modern EDI v legacy EDI: the key differences
The purpose of EDI has not changed: exchanging business documents electronically. What has changed is how much of the work a business must run itself. Four of the biggest differences are below.
| EDI capability | Legacy EDI approach | Transalis modern EDI |
|---|---|---|
| EDI management | May require internal EDI expertise | Fully managed EDI services covering connectivity, integration, monitoring, technical support and ongoing EDI operations. |
| ERP integration | Traditional integration and mapping processes | Fully managed EDI integration with ERP and business systems, including document mapping, translation and automated data exchange. |
| Trading partner onboarding | Often manual configuration and testing | FastTrack automates EDI trading partner onboarding, configuration and testing to accelerate customer and supplier connectivity. |
| Non-EDI documents | PDF and email orders keyed in by hand | Transalis DataDNA uses AI to extract order and invoice data from non-EDI documents such as PDFs, so they flow into your systems like EDI. |
All nine differences are on the EDI Basics: legacy EDI vs modern EDI page.
