Another company I found that helps companies with their electronic commerce is Harbinger's Corporation . They service more than 42,000 active, revenue-generating customers. There are many other companies in the business of electronic data interchange. If you want more information on EDI providers click here . Today people are also using the Intranet to place orders.
Companies can place orders directly to other companies via Web sites.
This new way of EDI is proving to be a better form of transferring the information. Internet based EDI can broaden the market. Using EDI on the Internet can help reach customers that the regular sales staff might no be able to contact. A customer can sign on the Internet, enter an order, and transmit the order using EDI, reaching a broader base of customers. Registering an order directly bypasses the problems of getting two different computer systems to connect.
