What is SaaS and cloud EDI?
Cloud EDI also commonly called SaaS EDI, is a solution in which all electronic data interchange communication is cloud-based.
In traditional EDI systems organizations maintain their own on-premises infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network connections. Cloud EDI however leverages the capabilities of the cloud to provide a more scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solution for EDI integration.
How does SaaS EDI work?
With cloud EDI, the entire process is hosted and managed on cloud servers. This includes the transformation, mapping, validation, and transmission of data. The EDI cloud based solution is suitable for businesses that want to make the transition to EDI, but do not want to maintain and invest in the hardware, software and links to other networks. Cloud EDI majorly reduces upfront costs and eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance.
