EDI is a Standard
EDI is a standard, and having standards in e-commerce or any type of integration, is important in achieving success in your integration efforts. I found this old video of Bill Gates talking about this very topic, and I decided to share it here.
Bill Gates is speaking in 1998, and mentions the need for standards like EDI in conduction e-commerce. “Creating those standards…make information move easily…” “So standards are becoming more important.
Bill and I don’t pal around or anything, and I am not a big fan of Biz Talk, but what he says in this clip supports some of the things that I support here. Standards make e-commerce communication better. EDI is a foundation level standard that we should draw from, so understanding what EDI is, becomes important as well.
