What's good for the 800 pound gorilla may not be as good for the banana (JB
Hunt TPs), which just get squeezed some more.

J.B. Hunt's EDI Swap-Out
When it comes to a quick return on investment, no e-business project may
have a quicker payback than swapping out EDI links for Web-based
alternatives.
Case in point: Transportation company J.B. Hunt is kicking off a new
integration project this month that aims to move its biggest customers off
expensive EDI networks and onto new Web- and XML-based trading networks.
The deployment, which will cost the company about $200,000, was sourced with
a keen eye on return on investment. By saving on EDI value-added network
(VAN) costs and moving new applications onto the cheaper network, J.B. Hunt
is aiming for a fifteen-month ROI payback on the project. --Richard
