RE: X12 sees the writing on the wall.
John,
There has been this discussion before but there are plenty of
corporations running on either extremely old EDI translators or those
written in house.
You have to keep in mind that the average US CIO has a job expectancy of
less than 3 years and most have bigger problems than EDI.
Regards,

Sure, but would you feel the same way if you were the CIO responsible
for
that EDI system? Would you rather be vulnerable to proprietary in-house
systems built by employees who will eventually leave and take the
expertise
with them, or pay the fees and have the "insurance" of being able to
call
the vendor or a staffing firm and get some contract support in there
asap if
your SME splits?
Would you really be willing to risk the data that is the lifeblood of
your
corporation like that? I don't drive without auto insurance, and if I
were
the CIO, I would make sure my EDI was running on an industry-standard
platform.

You know, I suppose I would rather learn a few things well - like Java,
Perl and XSD schemas - than to struggle with some of these expensive
proprietary EDI mapping systems with their onerous annual maintenance
fees, arcane GUI systems and obscure macro languages.
