今天的商业环境竞争非常激烈。全球竞争、经济条件和更短的生产周期使市场要求更高。作为一种竞争手段，组织正变得以战略为中心，以客户为导向，以技术为导向。电子数据交换（EDI）技术的使用使企业能够在降低成本的同时实现上述目标。对EDI的投资鼓励与贸易伙伴的长期承诺，使信息的传递更有效，并允许公司通过更短的订单周期对客户需求作出更快速的响应。EDI同时通过减少纸张、邮件费用和由于数据输入错误造成的延迟来降低成本。
Today`s business environment has become extremely competitive. Global competition, economic conditions, and shorter production cycles have made the marketplace more demanding. As a means of competing, organizations are becoming strategically focused, customer directed, and technology oriented. The use of electronic data interchange (EDI) technology allows firms to do the above while simultaneously reducing costs. An investment in EDI encourages long-term commitment with trading partners, makes the transmission of information more efficient, and allows firms to be more responsive to customer needs through shorter order cycles. EDI simultaneously decreases costs by reducing paper, mail expense, and delays due to data entry errors.
