EDI Cost Analysis

Finding Room for Improvement, and Profit, in Your EDI Operation

Whether you are using a VAN, software or other service to exchange EDI or other data with your trading partners, there may be room for improvement, and substantial savings. 1EDISource can help you find it, with an EDI Cost Analysis.

We can evaluate your current communications approaches, tools, vendors and any compliance issues you may face. We can show you where there are opportunities for savings and improvements. Then, we’ll provide recommendations that can make a real and significant difference in your bottom line…and potentially improve your workflow, compliance, and more.

Our recommendations may include new VAN service providers, negotiating better rates, or implementing entirely new approaches and methods. Whatever it takes, we can get it done, and you can benefit from a better, more cost-effective operation.

VAN ROI Analysis

Value Added Networks (VANs) can offer a reliable and effective way of doing EDI. VANs can also drive up EDI costs. If you’re using a VAN to exchange data with your trading partners, are you getting the best service at the best price?

Substantial savings may be possible, and 1EDISource can get you there. With our ROI Analysis, we can assess your current VAN services and costs relative to your particular EDI needs. Our EDI experts will then develop recommendations, and work with you to implement them for maximum results and maximum value.

We seek to develop the best approach by comparing multiple VANs, utilizing the best VANs for particular services, and negotiation rates. We can leverage the strong relationships we have with all major VANs to get you the best package. We may also recommend alternatives, such as AS2 or other direct connections. Better approaches…better results.

Beyond Advice: Implementation

When 1EDISource conducts a Cost Analysis, we do more than just offer suggestions. We help you get it done, so potential savings become real savings.

Your best approach may include direct communications, such as AS2 or using sFTP or FTPs. Many times, handling some or all of your communications with these approaches can improve your operations and provide substantial cost savings. 1EDISource can provide the tools you need, including our world-class software, and expert guidance along the way. We will work with you to get it done, easily and with maximum results.

For those who prefer not to take on the challenge of direct network connections, whether it’s through a VAN or direct with trading partners (via AS2, FTP, sFTP, FTPs, etc.), no worries. 1EDISource EDI Outsourcing and Managed File Transfer services allow you to handle any communications challenge without the burden of managing and resourcing it all internally.
