To the group: I acknowledge and respect the views of all who post here on this group. By now most of you are aware of what I am trying to do as far as EDI and AS2.
We are not a large company as far as volume in kc of EDI transactions, averaging only 3000 kcs per month. We are committed to pursuing AS2 and migrating traffic off of our VAN. I am investigating sufficient low-cost AS2 encryption software that will allow us to move away from a VAN and do our own communications. Clearly as we move away from a VAN we want to have the remaining traffic cost as little as possible. In my investigation I am now resorting to contacting as many VANs as I can reasonably contact to see what rates they have for lower volume EDI (approx 600 kc per month) while still providing ample VAN support. If anyone has any experience with any VAN's pricing for this smaller amount then please let me know as it would save me some time. I appreciate your thoughts and comments.
