I most defiantly agree. There is no short cut in EDI knowledge. If you are willing to put in the time, start with the definition's of EDI and it's sibling components. Move on to process flows and many of them. Depending on your natural ability to pick up new skills it could come quick or never at all. Again Art said it right there are plenty of consultants that will save you in the long run with all the charge backs and other fines attributed to the trial and error learning you will have to go through. Hire and learn it from a professional we wouldn't be here if it didn't work. Good job Art.
Thank you, All EDI James Thomas (281)954-5214 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Art Douglas Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 11:48 AM To: 'rakesh kumar'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Set of questions to be asked from client for providing EDI solution Keshri, If you are not an experienced EDI analyst, your first question should be, "Why are you asking me to do this, instead of asking an experienced EDI analyst?" EDI is not something you just walk into, and understand. It is not something you cheat at and succeed. There are several capable EDI consultants on this list who could do the job for your client, and get them started while you begin learning the basics. One of the very important aspects of being an EDI professional is the ability to communicate well in written and verbal English, as it is used in the country where you are working and trading documents. Your Trading Partners must be able to understand you well if you want to elicit their cooperation. I perceive from your posts that this is an area in which you could use some improvement. In summary, without knowing anything about your client's business, there is no way anybody here can give you an adequate response. If you are going to do this job, you need to be skilled and experienced in EDI, and demonstrate the ability to communicate well. Please get help.
