I have several clients with multiple partners using Sterling for mapping services of this nature; and Sterling does its usual excellent job. > 3 > Do you have experience with another provide of EDI services?

You'll get no names from me, but I can tell you this includes that company located in (and formerly named for) the capital of the Great State of Minnesota, and another firm located in Ohio which prefixes "commerce" with "G" to make a name which makes little or no sense to me. Neither IMO is in Sterling's league when it comes to providing both mapping services AND ESPECIALLY "quality interface with your "vendor trading partners." .. which reminds me... if you do go the "outside services route", be sure to ask prospective vendors if they are going to charge your vendor trading partners some kind of "certification" or "testing" fee.... and if so, how much. Be sure to share this info with your Director of Purchasing as I'm sure he/she will appreciate the "heads up" about potential angry phone calls from your company's valued vendors. Michael C.
