Thinking "Outside the Box" about EDI
Those of us who have worked with EDI
for a long time know its strengths and capabilities and have
realized that we are not using our software tool to its full
potential. In most companies, the EDI process handles 80%-90%
of the order $ and does so reliably, behind the scenes and is so
tightly integrated into the ERP system, that folks tend to
forget it is there! So let's bring it out from behind the
curtain and explain how it can help solve today's data issues in
companies. Look around your company to see how many people are
receiving spreadsheets or files from others (customers,
suppliers, etc.) and spending hours manually manipulating them
to get the data they need. Often they turn around and key that
data into the ERP system! Come to this session to learn how to
think differently about your EDI software and what it can do.
Learn how you can become a hero and expand your value to the
company with a tool you use every day!
Faith Lamprey is the President of Aurora Technologies/EDI
Support which she founded in 1995. She has been working with
EDI since it became a necessity for businesses who deal with the
“big guys”. She has watched as EDI software has become more
powerful and function rich. Come hear her ideas on using this
powerful tool to help solve other non-EDI business issues.
Message
from the President
At our October meeting, Jim Mason
presented a high level view on i applications and tools from other
developers. He discussed discovering, implementing, extending, and
supporting apps and tools, and surprised us by querying the
attendees for ideas and techniques used in their environments and
then awarding prizes to those who responded! Thanks Jim for a great
meeting, with a new perspective.
November is our traditional EDI meeting, and we have our own Faith
Lamprey as the presenter. Faith holds B.A. in Computer Science and
Economics, from Elmira College and an MBA in Management Information
Systems from the University of Rhode Island. She was a Vice
President at Daly & Wolcott (now part of Infor) and is now the
President of Aurora Technologies/EDI Support which she founded in
1995. Aurora has been an Inovis (now GXS) business partner since
1990 (before Inovis was Inovis) and a Liaison Technologies (formerly
Softshare) Channel Partner since 2005.
Having been a force in the EDI arena since it became a necessity,
Faith is uniquely positioned to deliver this month’s presentation.
She’s taking us “Outside the Box” from what’s trending in the field,
to where EDI might and will go. Learn what new technologies are
coming, what will the industry embrace, and why we should think
differently about EDI.
Questions…problems…challenges….Let’s find the answers, discuss the
problems and face the challenges….Join with us…
May The Force be with us!
