Manual Processes Must Go
Evolve Using Your Existing EDI Systems
The time needed to send transcripts and enter invoices needs to be eliminated through careful automation. In today’s economy, head count must be capped, yet the work needs to be done without errors. To adapt, you must integrate carefully and economically. Experience counts.
EDI Can Help with Transcripts and AP
Integration and development must honor the time proven processes and yet offer cost savings for reliability and economy. The challenge is different applications such as student records and accounts payable.
Fortunately, the national standards have been in place for many years in both X12 (SPEEDE/EXPRESS) or GS1 (standardized tag XML) formats. The best solution can be a combination of automation for high volume documents such as transcripts and a manual Web form for low volume documents such as a P.O. Acknowledgement. It is also likely that your student record and payables system have an e-commerce module upon which you can build.

Data moves from your customer’s computer system – through the Internet securely – to your computer system.
