Why EDI cloud is better

Cloud-based solutions for EDI are increasingly common. Businesses are realising the power in utilising solutions that aren’t attached to hardware and are able to automate certain processes — helping streamline their own internal procedures and saving both time and money as a result. But what could the benefits be for your business? Here’s some of the key drivers for switching to cloud EDI:

Security — Advanced encryption and monitoring ensure EDI systems are secure. Plus, with your priceless data stored on the cloud, it’s always protected from hardware and software breakdowns. Your business won’t grind to a halt in emergency situations.
Flexibility and scalability — With three levels of implementation, you’re able to scale a cloud-based EDI solution to your organisation as it grows or downscales. You’ll always have the right scale of service for your scale of business.
Affordability — With cloud EDI, you won’t have expensive software, hardware or upgrade bills.
Wide data support — EDI cloud will support any structured data standards and formats.
Integration – Cloud solutions integrate more effectively with other business systems and apps.
Onboarding – Because B2B cloud EDI integrations are easier, the onboarding process of new partners or users is quicker and simpler, too.
Availability – The cloud has almost zero downtime.
