EDI Certification Plan For the Christian-Resources Industry
June 19, 2004
This proposal offers a two-phase strategic approach to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and increase sales through implementation of industry-wide electronic data interchange standards and processes.
The certification initiative aims to provide broad industry automation of business-transaction processes through a common e-commerce structure and process. The purpose is to increase transaction speed and accuracy, provide an open platform among all channel trading partners, allow information and data exchange into internal business systems, and lower operating costs.
This long-term certification strategy will help create awareness of standardization requirements and processes, and give industry participants time to develop appropriate systems and practices.
