Allan,
Your hostility toward me and your accusations of me only in this for the money are not warranted. And, I believe all your experiences with respect to outsourcing the IT department are accurate and true. However, to throw me and my company under the same blanket is unenlightened on your part. Especially, in consideration that my dialogue was intended only to dispel some common misguided beliefs on the concept of Managed EDI Services. I can rebut all your horror stories with success stories but that is not the purpose as I am NOT here to sell you my bag of goods. My position is simply one of education whether you want to believe it or not I can not control but in order to be knowledgeable in life one must know all the varying positions in order to accurately choose a side they can live with. Clearly, you can live without Managed EDI Services. I get that LOL. But now, you have to consider that what you based your position on may not be so crystal clear but still enough for you to be comfortable with your position. My position, on the other hand, having been and EDI programmer, manager of EDI and Network Services for Proctor-Silex, Rubbermaid and Roadway is that if you can find someone to do it better you hire them. You see I was able to do all that without calling you out and disparaging you and any of your employment agendas.

By the way on a different note: Is anyone aware of CIO Talk Radio? It is an internet radio broadcast that probes and discusses various IT topics and trends. It broadcasts Wednesday mornings at 10am eastern and can be accessed via www.ciotalkradio.com <http://www.ciotalkradio.com/> . It covers all topics using guest CIO's from businesses of all kinds. I will say I have yet to hear a topic on EDI but maybe your management would want to know about this show as IT management is always interested in IT topics and what the trends are.

Please call me directly and I will put you in touch with several fortune 500 companies that have significantly lowered their EDI costs and significantly improved their capability and reliability. You can reach me directly at 330.842.1542. That is if you want to broaden your horizons. However, if you want to keep believing in the one-sided coin then by all means do not call.

ECEDI I take it? Personally I've never seen anything that justifies even considering outsourcing EDI for anything beyond mom 'n pops meeting a few customer/vendor requirements. All I have ever seen is over-inflated prices for buying an infrastructure vs. over-inflated promises for outsourcing.
