Frequently Asked Questions
How long does EDI implementation typically take?
Implementation timelines vary based on complexity and the number of trading partners, but most projects follow this general timeline: Discovery & Assessment (1-2 weeks), Solution Design (2-3 weeks), Implementation (3-8 weeks), Testing & Go-Live (2-4 weeks per trading partner). We'll provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation.

Absolutely. Our modernization approach is designed to preserve existing trading partner connections while improving the underlying infrastructure. We carefully plan cutover strategies to ensure business continuity during the transition period.
