  1. Top Questions To Ask Yourself Before Choosing an EDI Mapping Software in 2020   Outsourced ​EDI mapping services are a great option for modern business for the fastest and safest exchange of EDI data between their inhouse systems (e.g.,             accounting, ERP, etc.) and EDI data sources. However, before you select EDI mapping             software or services for your business, you should consider aspects like cost,           flexibility, ​EDI vendor​ experience, EDI support & training capabilities and so on.     Also, before selecting a feature-rich ​EDI mapping software, you should also ask some critical questions to yourself like:                                                                                               Who Software in My Firm?     are   the   People   That   Will   Use   EDI   Mapping   Do the employees in your firm who are going to use EDI mapping software have                 adequate skills or knowledge about EDI? If the answer is no, you should contact an ​EDI service provider who can assist you with activities related to EDI mapping, integration               and implementation.                                                             Which of My Back-End Systems Will Integrate with EDI         Mapping Software?            It is a very obvious question, right? But, it is not as easy as you think. You might need                     to map one of your EDI transactions or all of your EDI transactions with your company                                                  

  2. back-end systems like ERP, accounting and so on. Think of other aspects- do your           back-end systems support XML, fiat files? These are some important questions that           will help you choose a perfect mapping software.                                   Will I Need EDI Mapping Software for Long-Term? Many small firms only need ​EDI services for one or two business partners and don’t want to extend or make changes in them. Whereas, large enterprises often need               customized EDI solutions to improve their capabilities in case a need arises in future             when they grow rapidly or onboard multiple partners for exchanging important business               data.     Hence, if you need EDI mapping software or services for the long run, better choose               third-party E​DI services ​or custom EDI solutions ​offered by top ​IT consulting and custom software development companies like ​A3logics​. Otherwise, you can choose an “out-of-the-box” EDI solution with limited functionality.                                                                                                                                       How Much Should I Spend on EDI Mapping Software?  For any business, it is good to make a proper budget for ​EDI software. A quality ​EDI mapping tool with a myriad of features can cost thousands of dollars to you. Hence, it’s                 important to set a good budget. It is advised in most cases that you should not spend                 more than 30% of the overall budget of your EDI Mapping project on purchasing or                 building an in-house EDI mapping software.                                                                                    Should I Need Advanced Support Capabilities from EDI         Service Provider?           Before picking up an ​EDI mapping software​, you should ask yourself whether you need round-the-clock support and advanced functionalities from your selected vendor or not.         Availing advanced services under EDI software might boost overall charges for your           EDI service package. Many times, smaller firms require ​EDI services or solutions for a fixed duration with limited support features. Hence, better to avoid advanced support           capabilities in your EDI mapping tool, if not needed.                                                                                                     Final Words   To get the maximum profit from your investment in an EDI mapping software, it is               better to form partnerships with an ​EDI expert who has a good amount of experience with the software you selected. Third-party consultants or EDI experts like A3logics           simplify complex EDI tasks for your business. So, if you are ready to get started with             EDI, contact A3logics.
