The beauty of it is, with the ECS Web interface, you could get the java buzz and configure your BPs, TPs, and test your maps all from Starbucks. You'll need a VPN to install the maps and the SSL certs, though.

Art Douglas wrote: AS2 is only expensive or complex if you want it to be. If you want it to be inexpensive and easy, invest in Softshare ECS. You get unlimited AS1, AS2, AS3, FTP, Secure FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, Web Services, SMTP/POP3, scheduling, logging, alerts, TP Management - all for about the same price as 3 AS2 seats added-on to base GIS. Add Delta Enterprise for about $6500 and you have yourself a complete top-shelf EDI system for the cost of a three cups-a-day Starbucks habit (including the gas to drive there).

The question should have been AS2 vs VAN. AS2 advantages: Free, direct (no 3rd party), immediate AS2 disadvantages: Complicated setup (certificate exchange), Expensive software (licenses), needs 24/7 connection to internet. Bottom line: AS2 is the future. VANs are nice, but expensive. Expensive is also relative. Some places do not have EDI staff...

EDI. Is it in fact cheaper to use AS2? I have been told that it is more complicated that is why people prefer Traditional EDI if they have the choice. Also true?
