EDI Considerations

Use these questions to determine the scope of the implementation:

• What types of software and hardware are required to run EDI?

• How many people are necessary to support EDI operations?

• Can the existing staff support EDI operations?

• What are staff education and training requirements?

• How does implementing EDI affect the company's overall operations?

• Which departments in the company may experience an increase or decrease in workload?

• What are the costs and benefits of implementing EDI?

• How much is management involved in and committed to this project?
