Look at the upside to this... The next time one of your user's complains that
XYZ's orders weren't processed in time, and it MUST be the EDI team's fault,
you
can help them point their browser to XYZ's website and they can be responsible
for doing it themselves using XYZ's new and improved e-commerce capabilities.
This would allow them to rip and read XYZ's orders and process them just as
soon
as they want to! What a neat concept. Why with a little effort, I bet XYZ
could
even work with your users to get their orders to print off on nifty thermal
paper
right near your user's work station. Then we could answer the original
question
about un-attended operations!

Here are some representative phrases:
"... [when it comes to] access to the data ...changing makes a big
difference..."
"... a possible rewrite of your programming..."
"... FTP ... can be changed by your trading partner as well."
Hel-LO, people... isn't this why we have standards in the first place?
Isn't this the raison d'etre of EDI to begin with?
Am I just being a Luddite here, or does this sound incredibly stupid to more
people than just me??
Rant over.
