Re: Re: Alternatives to FAX for small trading partners
Mark,
I agree with most of your comments. However, if many SMEs continue to do
business with paper or faxes, wouldn't they be able to do the same with an
electronic equivalent of these documents (i.e. a text file that looks exactly
like a PO)? You can print it, edit it, key in the data, etc. Plus one more thing
you can't do with paper, import/export the data to existing applications. If
nothing else HUBs and spokes would save a lot in paper, handling, stamps, phone
bills, etc..
As to Web based translation, that's OK except you still depend on third parties
for your transaction processing and must pay fees for their intermediarism. Dito
for Service Bureaus!
Nothing like direct B2B EDI (via the Internet?), the Furtune 500 guys have taken
advantage of it for years, isn't it time the SME tried it too?
