On May 11, 2016, Todd Gould will present The Next 20,000 Hubs at the NEECOM Spring 2016 conference in Westborough, MA. The EDI relationship has frequently been characterized as a Hub & Spoke model, and we have seen major companies (often referred to as 800lb gorillas) dictating EDI to their vendors and suppliers. The future growth of EDI depends on …
From time to time I like to make a point of publicly recognizing people and companies when they exhibit excellence in what they do. Today’s kudos go to Don Nguyen in the EDI Admin/Support department at Fry’s Electronics. Two months ago Don approached us with a problem sending back AS2 Asynch MDNs to our SuperHUB AS2 system. Frequently, our system …
Since I entered in the EDI industry in 1996, I have not seen a more promising time to be in this market. The GXS era was an unfortunate disruption to the natural growth of a networked market; however, under the new management of OpenText opportunity is back. Now that we avoided the apocalypse, it is time for us, the leaders …
This month we have launched two new products: SuperHUBSM and VendorConnect. Both have been driven by customer demand and are directly intended to stabilize the shifting sand that is today’s EDI messaging environment. SuperHUB has been in development for some time and is a natural extension of ECGrid, enhanced for major EDI Hub end-users. Not just another VAN, SuperHUB is …
Mike Dietzen at the Brady Corporation started a discussion on LinkedIn regarding a new way to think about EDI. In the comment thread it moved in to a discussion of Canonical EDI, a concept that is near and dear to my heart. Can we as professionals agree to a new way of doing EDI? I would like to shift the …
One of the most common search terms we have hitting our web site is “How do I become a VAN?” Great question. There is no off-the-shelf VAN software. Each and every VAN has built their own system, designed to handle standard (X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOM, etc.) and non-standard EDI data. And for the sake of this argument I will also include …

Learn more aboutAS2 in the Cloud This last year the EDI community has shown a substantial increasing interest in AS2. But what exactly is AS2? This is the second in a multipart series to examine AS2 and what it means going forward to the EDI industry. If you want all the historical and technical information on AS2, then I suggest …

When traveling around the world, you never know who you are going to meet in the most interesting places. Last week found me on business in Nice, France. Not a bad place to relax while “doing” EDI. I happened upon one Penny Vanderbilt. Not likely the long lost third cousin fifth removed of Gloria, but quite an interesting bird, herself. …
