As any manager charged with integrating business data applications knows, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) are two sides of the same coin. Yet they are often treated as disparate systems, which is both understandable and potentially problematic. 

Maintaining robust security measures is crucial for safeguarding sensitive business data. For enterprises that rely on Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems, the growing complexity of threats demands a more modern approach. Traditional security models often fall short, prompting a shift to more robust frameworks.

In our blog that examined the ERP industry’s shift from on-premises systems to cloud-based delivery, we looked at what the trend means for IT leaders and integration managers. Now, with end of mainstream maintenance for ECC 6.0 on the horizon, we want to discuss what migrating to SAP S/4HANA means for the business and system integration tech stack (EDI, EAI, MFT, APIs).

According to MMR, the rising adoption of cloud EDI is expected to boost significant growth in the global EDI market, on track now to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% to reach $72.59B by 2030. Why is cloud adoption growing?
