Introduction
DCS knows that your customers will not tolerate disruptions in EDI, especially when you convert to a new business application.
|
Our expertise with BPCS and your existing EDI system GentranTM, TrustedLinkTM, GXS (RadleyTM), ExtolTM, BoomiTM, or MercatorTM will speed the conversion. DCS also knows your Trading Partners requirements. There are several advantages to seeking EDI conversion assistance: primarily the EDI conversion occurs at the end of the ERP conversion when timelines may be slipping.
| Overview
Business application upgrades are typically time intensive; just when you have many other conversion details upon which to focus. Since most EDI and AS2 Software systems do not automatically link to business applications, re-mapping and thorough testing is needed. Use of LPARs makes this easier. The costs of converting are the generic map development, customization for each trading partner, testing, and training both users and I.T. To learn the effort needed, a Free Assessment is provided. From it, a task list and time estimates are provided.
EDI data is also frequently sent to a database instead of a packaged business application. Several DCS customers have moved data into/out of Series i, DB2, Oracle, or MS SQL databases for subsequent processing such as reporting. Frequently, DCS customers can save by doing the reporting themselves. DCS role is to help with table design for EDI data and then map the data into a database. Working jointly processes are swift and reliable. Another savings opportunity that is often overlooked is setting AS2 or FTP over a VPN to your Trading Partner. This is done while working closely with your firewall manager and can eliminate pricey VAN fees.
Conclusion
Conversion to a new business application requires that all business processes are NOT interrupted. Attention to very many crucial details is the heart of the challenge. Chances are deadlines are impending and progress is slow. To maintain the peak efficiency consider outside assistance from veterans. Having performed numerous conversions, DCS can help you avoid a flawed upgrade and ensure your EDI runs smoothly. Our Next Level™ development service is time-proven for a smooth upgrade.
