EDI has evolved with newer technology, especially with the development of cloud computing. The question then is, “When have I wrung all potential out of Virtual Machine (VM)? And, how is an EDI system hosted in the cloud different?”
EDI used to only be accessed through a VM server, but now you have the option to move your server to the cloud. The choice is yours alone as your EDI will function the same in either location.
A hosted solution means a choice of two configurations:
- EDI and AS2 systems are installed in the cloud (direct connections from the cloud to your customer)
- A connection to a managed services provider. (ERP systems in the cloud work with EDI systems such as IBM Gentran:Server, Sterling B2B Integrator, and GXS BizLink)
When moving EDI to the cloud, our DCS EDI Specialists can provide:
- Installation of EDI software (development and production)
- Testing of the connection to EDI gateway
- Connection from cloud to your customers
- Training for your employees
If you are already in production with EDI it is not a difficult task to switch your server’s location.
Customers won’t tolerate disruptions in EDI while you are moving your server, which is where our NEXT LEVEL™ service steps in.
