I was an inhouse EDI guy..  I know GIS and Inovis plus worked with our 2 
vendors that had their own home grown translators.   I went to one vendor's 
site to help them with it.  It was written in VB.NET.  My problem was that I 
made it work to good at my office that I got voted out of the company in a 
reorg.  EDI was quiet therefore the execs thought I was an expense.   I heard 
they had a problem with something through the EDI grape vine and it took 6 days 
to resolve.  I guess you get what you pay for most of the time.  Don't pay at 
all then you get nothing.  Now the shop that I went too... I didn't get paid 
but it and I did better then that companies' $65 an hour programmers.  They 
didn't know EDI that was the problem.

Not really. You need to keep the folks that run production, but the developers 
are an
expensive permanent hire. Most companies don't have experienced EDI talent, and 
those
that do rarely have them with experience with two translators.

Would the same not be true for not using consultants but their own in- 
house experts? Who is to say, as you argue "who is to say that even 
the best ... might not come through for their clients."
