Re: Running more than one Translator/Transformation Engine
Maura,
Regarding your inquiry involving firms running translation packages from
different vendors.
I would suggest this phenomenon occurs when the tech support for EDI translation
services is not centralized into a specific technical support team, whereby each
division is responsible for the procurement, deployment and maintenance of their
own EDI software. Certainly, and depending upon the scope of the EDI
requirement, many opt to 'home grow' or program-in their own interface. I have
seen this at another company I once worked for. Here at Customs, the team I
lead is tasked with providing this service to all EDI enabled applications. A
focused, concentrated team provides tremendous value insofar as subject matter
expertise, providing translation services which leverages an existing mature
infrastructure, quick ramp-up, and trade liaison support. This model, I
believe, provides the biggest bang for the buck.
