It appears this product would be used to go from EDI to XML at the
sending end and from XML to EDI at the receiving end.
What benefit have you found in doing this? It might appear to the
uninitiated as a rather useless extra step. Why not transmit the
information in EDI syntax instead of going to all the additional
complexity and expense of translating to/untranslating from XML syntax?
What happens when your trading partner expects the communication in EDI
syntax and you send it in XML syntax? Does that force all your trading
partners into this additional complexity and expense also? Where is the
business benefit in doing this?
