Not "Boo hoo", sir; "Still?"

I continue to be amazed at the number of firms which think they can "do EDI" 
without the active participation of the Real Users; that is, that the "I/T 
department"  alone can implement an EDI trading relationship with a 
customer, vendor, or other partner.

IMNSHO* it cannot be done.

I/T guys are often way too academic, lacking practical knowledge of their 
employer's real business.

"Doing EDI " is *not*  an "I/T thing" ... it's a "business process" thing.

How do you expect guys to improve something about which they know little or 
nothing?
