RE: Fax to EDI/Data
And no amount of chanting otherwise will convince me you aren't just using
the list to practice your marketing skills.
You can make all the lists of "benefits" you want. You can write thousand
word emails defending your position until the cows come home. It doesn't
change what you're doing and it doesn't change the reality that most small
businesses with fax systems in place are not interested in making the
investment in a technology change. It doesn't suit the way they do
business, something your list fails to address completely.
What's really tiresome is the use of this list to hype a technology that
isn't being adopted at the rate your business plan requires.

Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Fax to EDI/Data
Yaknow, Peter, this is getting tiresome. No amount of chanting "retail" is
going to make it so, and the latest red herring about "Inc." advances the
discussion not at all. Why do I suspect that you are asking novice-level
questions about B2Bi, disguised as pretentious, unsupported declaratives?
You have to begin looking at the customer's needs and both sides' business
processes. For short orders, fax (or even EDI) simply can't hold a candle
to Web forms in the ten areas I listed, and I can't remember hearing anyone
but you assert otherwise.
Anyway, I have nothing new to add, so let me end my participation in this
sub-thread with two unanswered quotes from my last reply:
"Instead of describing this solution with one word ("retail"), think about
the benefits and shortcomings from the point of view of a non-EDI, non-ebiz
company sending in short (few lines) orders."
"Please review [my list of ten customer benefits from Web forms compared to
fax] one at a time, and if you think any of them are not B2B benefits,
state which one and why."
I don't expect answers to those two quotes because I think you don't
understand the business part of business-to-business e-commerce.
