Doug,
I remember there were initiatives to bring X.12 into closer alignment
with EDIFACT, is that still occuring? If not could you comment on why?
Food for thought for the rest of us:
It is slightly ironic to note that since it is UN EDIFACT and the USA is
one of the largest contributors to the UN our tax dollars are supporting
the "free" standard used by the vast majority of the world outside North
America. (Even Japan is moving toward EDIFACT away from their local
legacy standards)
1) Why can't we get alignment with the global community? Legacy issues,
pride or ?
2) As supply chains are now truly global wouldn't one standard
facilitate global supplier adoption, cut cost and improve efficiencies?
Regards,
James Hatcher
