See http://www.lmi.org/About_LMI/reports.htm and search on A Guide to EDI Translation
Software, 1998 Edition Author:
Harold L. Frohman Report No.: IR805T1
"Abstract: This edition updates and expands the information presented in our previous
versions. The guide provides
information on commercially available electronic data interchange (EDI) translation
software packages, EDI support
products, and EDI products developed exclusively in response to federal and Department
of Defense (DoD) procurement
initiatives. The guide was first created in 1989 to aid federal government activities,
including military departments
and defense agencies, in procuring software for their EDI programs. However, many
commercial organizations with an EDI
program have also found the guide useful. The guide provides an introduction to EDI
translation software, identifies a
variety of EDI software packages, assesses the key features of each package, provides
a list of functions and features
that can be in a software package, and highlights features we believe are required to
meet the EDI needs of federal
government and DoD programs for several operating environments. The guide also
includes a short overview on selecting
EDI translation software."
"It is available free of charge to U.S. government agencies by sending an e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Others may
purchase reports from the National Technical Information Service if they have an AD or
PB number, or they can send $20
for each report (unless a different price is noted at the beginning of the abstract)
to LMI Library, 2000 Corporate
Ridge, McLean, VA 22102-7805."
I used this to begin my first EDI RFP years ago and have just added to it as new
technologies and standards arose. Of
course, I have to modify it for each client. It used to be available on-line but I no
longer have the link. Maybe
someone on the mailing list knows.
