Kurzbeschreibung
In 1990 the TEDIS Programme was launched to investigate and promote the use of EDI in order to increase the competitiveness of European businesses in worldwide markets. It gives an introduction to and presents fourteen case studies of the use of EDI. It provides management summaries which outline the main messages from each case, and also identifies common patterns and important differences across the individual studies.
EDI in Europe How It Works in Practice During the last decade, the use of information technology to support the exchange of information has been constantly growing. One of the most important areas of growth has been the application of technology to the exchange of structured information between companies - generally referred to as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). While adoption of EDI is widespread in the US, usage in Europe is reported as scant. This book addresses itself to the European situation and the potential for EDI in Europe. EDI in Europe begins by introducing the basic elements of the concept, and its benefits. It goes on to analyse 14 case studies drawing out the lessons to be learned - all of which gives the reader the opportunity to evaluate their own situation and choose the most suitable approach.
