How does WebDI compare to traditional VAN-based EDI?
According to the US Chamber of Commerce, “First-time implementations of traditional EDI cost, on average, $50,000 for hardware, software, implementation, and training.” With WebDI, there are no software or hardware costs beyond the PC, Internet connection, Windows, and a browser. All translations take place within the WebDI server. You also won’t need to add additional IT staff with WebDI. Unlike traditional VAN-based EDI, WebDI has minimal testing requirements and no internal set-up requirements.
