I am not too active here but do follow discussions. Recently there has been a hub-bub (technical term) about the pricing and related issues with X12.
When I first really got into EDI, it was a long time ago but the first standard I really got into was for a pharmaceutical company using JD Edwards. Due to the EU business focus and other foreign activities we selected UN EDIFACT as the EDI basis for all external and internal date transmissions. As many orders were placed intra-company and then forwarded to other 'foreign' companies this seemed like a good basis. I really loved this standard as it seemed so much more 'organized' and specific than the nebulous formation of so many X12 segments. The more 'structured feel' was nice and specific. Now with the discussions, do you believe than there could be a future migration and adoption of UN EDIFACT standards as they are 'free' and supported world-wide? Just a random thought this morning.
