FULL-SERVICE EDI
Evaluating your EDI options: seven building blocks of full-service EDI.
What’s the difference between managed EDI services and full-service EDI?
A managed EDI service is a cloud-based EDI solution in which the EDI provider is responsible for the developing and maintaining the core technology, but requires internal staffing for the day-to-day customization, optimization and operations of the technology.
