"EDI standards don't work. You always have to change programs anyway."
We've added many trading partners with no code changes, yet I still hear
this. Puts me on a slow burn.

How about some Wednesday venting... (Can you guess what touched this
off?)

My least favorite references to EDI projects:

1. "It's not rocket science/brain surgery."

Actually, the claim that it is not brain surgery does not incite; but
for some reason, stating the obvious about EDI and rocket science tends
to make my eye twitch. It's not rocket science?? Gee, I never made the
connection.

2. "It's just a gloried fax."

Hallelujah and AMEN! Whatever, the customer wants an 856/ASN yesterday!


Any others out there? I feel better already...
