Industry Specific Requirements and Their Impact on Business and System Integration

I recently attended an EDI enablement session that included a Remediclient as a speaker addressing how industry specific requirements impact his company's EDI and integration environments.  The client is in the distribution industry, of which EDI is the backbone to any company in that industry that wants to meet the demands of its customers and various trading partners.  These demands include doing everything that they do faster, more effectively, and cheaper than their competitor to ensure excellent relationships with their customers and trading partners while maintaining as much profitability in a razor-thin margin industry.

By implementing EDI and developing an integration strategy across various departments including IT, customer service, warehousing, and business units, they have been able to grow their business at an accelerated rate and become a leader in the distribution industry.  Implementing EDI has impacted everything from the way that their business is structured organizationally to how distribute their products.  It made them take a step back and review all of the processes that they had in place previously and how implementing EDI would require them to become more efficient in all phases of their distribution model.  It had such an impact on them that they even had to develop the most effective routes for their forklifts to drive through their warehouses to pick, pack, and fulfill orders the most efficient way possible.
