X12 has published a blog post with information on electronic data interchange (EDI), presenting executives with factors to consider in choosing an EDI in-house versus a hosted approach.

EDI allows companies to move structured transmission of large data files between each other, connecting organizations in countless ways including synchronizing supply chains and facilitating business communication. “Electronic Data Exchange:  A Quick Primer for Busy CEOs” explains what EDI is, its origins, how companies use it, and how to determine which approach to EDI is the best option for a business. The primer is the first in X12’s three-part blog series explaining the essentials of automating data exchange.
