I think that is exactly what I was saying. One of my long-time 'gripes'
about 'EDI software' is, in general, you have to license
(pay for) way, way more capability than you will ever need. Not only
that, but all the 'big guys' offer their products only as
complete suites, requiring the user to learn and maintain a whole
system. I really think this kind of cash and human investment is a
huge barrier to "edi-enabling" for the smaller user.
Suzy User doesn't want to enter a new customer, then enter a new
'trading partner' in another system: Suzy User wants to enter the
new customer and check the "yes" box next to "Should this customer be
set up as an EDI customer?"
I work with clients in two primary industries:
Manufacturing/Distribution and Healthcare. So what do I care about
Ocean-going
freight manifests, or customs declarations, or court filings? For that
matter, how many Real Users (i.e. non-consultants) would
need BOTH the Mfg/Dist transaction sets (850, 810, 856 et al) AND the
healthcare transaction sets (835,270,837 et al)????
Well, if the big guys don't want to look at the little guy market, I
will. I'd like to do this though the applications vendors..
probably because I've seen enough really poorly-designed "EDI Modules"
from vendors of accounting, billing or inventory systems to
know they could have done a whole lot better with some kind of API
approach.
