We've been tracking the increase in EDI activity over the first months of 2009. From my own intuition and from your comments, this increase is counter to what any of us expected. At this point however, there seems to be an identifiable trend in the traffic, and it certainly wasn't from a source I expected.
What's been reported to me only goes to strengthen the idea that this world is increasingly a global trading community. If we didn't already have evidence of the interconnectedness of the international trading community, the coordinated decline in our mutual economies brings the phenomenon into focus. What's interesting is the way trading relationships have changed over the last few months.
