Electronic Data Interchange
• EDI is the computer-to-computer transfer of business information between two businesses
• EDI-compatible firms are firms that exchange data in specific standard formats– Business information exchanged is often
transaction data• Most B2B electronic commerce is an
adaptation of EDI or based on EDI principles
![Page 13: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Electronic Commerce, Seventh Annual Edition 13
Early Business Information Interchange Efforts
• 1950s– Companies began to use computers to store and
process internal transaction records• 1968
– A number of freight and shipping companies formed the Transportation Data Coordinating Committee (TDCC)
• TDCC created a standardized information set
![Page 14: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Emergence of Broader EDI Standards
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
– Has been the coordinating body for standards in the United States since 1918
– Does not set standards itself
– Has created a set of procedures for the development of national standards
– Accredits committees that follow set procedures
![Page 15: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

standards– Includes information systems professionals from
over 800 businesses and other organizations• Transaction sets
– Names of formats for specific business data interchanges
![Page 16: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

the title EDI for Administration, Commerce, and Transport (EDIFACT, or UN/EDIFACT)
• Late 2000– ASC X12 organization and UN/EDIFACT group
agreed to develop one common set of international standards

How EDI Works• EDI
– Implementation can be complicated• Example:
– Consider a company that needs a replacement for one of its metal-cutting machines
– Paper-based purchasing process• Buyer and vendor are not using any integrated
software• Information transfer between buyer and vendor is
paper based

Value-Added Networks• Direct connection EDI
– Requires each business in the network to operate its own on-site EDI translator computer
– EDI translator computers are connected directly to each other using modems and dial-up telephone lines or dedicated leased lines
![Page 23: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Electronic Commerce, Seventh Annual Edition 23
Value-Added Networks (continued)
• Indirect connection EDI
– To send an EDI transaction set to a trading partner:
• VAN customer connects to the VAN then forwards an EDI-formatted message to the VAN
• VAN logs the message and delivers it to the trading partner’s mailbox
• Trading partner then dials in to the VAN and retrieves its EDI-formatted messages
![Page 24: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Electronic Commerce, Seventh Annual Edition 24
Advantages of Using a VAN• Users need to support only the VAN’s one
communications protocol
• The VAN:
– Records message activity in an audit log
– Can provide translation between different transaction sets used by trading partners
– Can perform automatic compliance checking
![Page 25: Chapter 5 Business-to-Business Strategies: From Electronic Data Interchange to Electronic Commerce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815d33550346895dcb2e64/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
