I have actually been charged with the same task recently and am very interested in gathering more information, specifically how the EDI team should be structured. Someone posted that there should be a liaison type person(s) that interfaced with the business (LOB) and the EDI Team Lead/Developers. I also believe this as the business should drive the direction of the EDI projects.
My company is about $7B with around 250 trading partners. The current EDI staff (me) supports both customers and suppliers, and some railroads. We do 204,404,810,820,832,844,850,855,856. Can anyone provide any links to case studies or more discussion in this area? Thanks.
