Craig, you bring up an EXCELLENT point!! I think I’ll do some research on free and or open source EDI solutions. I’m personally working on a parser on my spare time. I am not 100% sure where I’ll go with this yet. I think we need to get a good poll / forum discussion going on this topic.

One of the things I forgot to mention in this blog, is that the availability of low and even NO-COST EDI solutions was the ONLY reason many of these vendors signed on and did the deal. Too many EDI providers keep going after the “big fish” in the pond and the little guys just get run over and can’t keep up because they can’t afford something like 50 bucks a month to just process orders. So to any EDI Service Providers out there reading this - be sure to make some kind of low/NO-cost EDI solution as part of your product offering. It allows smaller businesses to get the EDI “bug” and then very possibly grow their EDI needs and services as they grow as a business, providing a long term income producing and loyal client…
