Achieving an optimal EDI system demands an understanding of not only communications, networks, equipment, and other aspects of system infrastructure but also the business processes and back-end enterprise business system functions to be realized through the system. Moreover, it is now necessary to also address new requirements that include DR/BCP measures, cloud environment support, and support for access point systems and new network technologies.
