Balloon Animals

You don't have to be 5 to love balloon animals. How long have you waited in line for your very own Magical Jedi sword, or a multicolored obnoxious king hat to make sure you stand out in a crowd? Can you beat my 90 minutes on a sweltering Friday night at the Brockton Rox game? The Rox may not be the Sox, but I bet you can't get custom balloon animals at Fenway! There's gotta be a market for the Gems, heck, I bet I could package them up and sell them to Walmart! And, what do you know, I even know a fantastic EDI Provider, B2BGateway! I could be up and running and have orders tomorrow, sweet! I mean seriously, Balloon animals are the coolest, and make everyone happy. They aren't even dangerous. like flying propeller toys that leave chop marks on your precious 5 year old's nose because he just had to get a closer look at it!

Welcome

This blog has been created for EDI professionals or those who just wish to find out more about all things wonderful in the world of EDI. For those who do not already know EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange and is loosely defined as the structured transmission of electronic data between organizations. It has many standards (X12, UN/EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, ODETTE)and protocols (XML, HTTP, FTP, FTPS etc). EDI has a global reach and has become best business practice in many industries especially large format retailers, third party logistic providers and manufacturers. Advantages of EDI are numerous including real time information, accuracy and cost savings. Suppliers who are requested to trade documentation in an approved EDI format should not fret but should merely contact a reputable EDI provider who will take care of all mapping, specifications and requirements of the trading partner(s).
