Whether UCCnet in retail, HIPAA in healthcare, AIAG in automotive or NAESB in energy, EDI University understands the issues and standards that are driving e-business for these vertical markets: AutomotiveConducting e-business with reliability and securityThe automotive industry is heavily driven by EDI integration with key business processes. There is a need to sustain the discipline and benefits derived from these investments and complement it with more contemporary B2B technologies. As the latency between order entry and shipment becomes more and more mission-critical, companies must now create and manage internal business processes to handle multiple daily shipments, integrated barcode labeling and disparate ordering methods. B2B integration and Data Transformation ServicesData Transformation Services bridge the technology gap between you and your trading partners, so organizations can create a digital dialog regardless of data formats or standards. A superior EDI/XML data transformation tool will provide any-to-any translation capabilities, along with tight integration with your B2B connectivity solution, to standardize differing formats and streamline the process of exchanging business documents with your entire trading community. The automotive industry has made significant strides streamlining business-to-business communications to simplify operations and drive down costs across the automotive supply chain. Major automotive manufacturers like Honda and DaimlerChrysler have developed their own Internet-based proprietary data formats for e-business documents, replacing or coexisting with traditional EDI standards for data transformation and Value-Added Networks (VANs) for connectivity. Open e-business standards like ebXML are gaining acceptance through the backing of industry leaders like General Motors. Pre-built automotive industry kits, with translation maps and forms that support the proprietary standards of major automotive manufacturers (e.g., GM EDIFACT, Delphi Order-to-Delivery and Honda), provide automotive suppliers with a template for electronically sharing business documents with their largest trading partners, and accelerate and further simplify the data transformation process. Here is a quick checklist when researching Internet EDI, B2B integration and data transformation solutions:
