The electronic communication is based on three components:
- IBM AS400 as hardware component
- EDI as approved transmission protocol
- Internet und e-mail correspondence as accompanying communication
All these components are selected and designed in a way to nearly rule out any downtimes and correlated losses of productivity.
Selecting EDI, a globally accepted standard combining many advantages was chosen:
- Reduction of processing times
- Accelerated completion of business processes by avoiding useless worksteps such as printing of paper documents and renewed data entry at the recipient’s system
- Reduction of processing costs
- Reduction of charges for data entry, forms and printing as well as postage
- Improved data quality
- Continuous electronic processes result in avoiding error sources caused by media breaking
- No error-prone entry of paper documents into IT systems
- Increased business contacts between the partners
