GXS–a World-Class EDI Vendor

Outsourced EDI

When it comes to implementing your first B2B transaction, there are 25 identifiable steps, mostly related to e-commerce. By managing these in-house instead of outsourcing EDI, not only do you have to dedicate valuable time and resources away from core competencies, but you also have to allocate resources for system maintenance and management, as well.

With outsourced EDI, you can pay attention to your business and not worry about how to implement and manage your B2B transactions. GXS is a recognized leader in global EDI outsourcing and B2B e-commerce. Contact a GXS representative today to discuss how your business can benefit from outsourced EDI.

Outsourced EDI & Business Continuity

What happens when your EDI system goes down? Can you afford to have your supply chain stand still for a day, or even an hour, while your IT department devotes their time to investigating and getting you back online? Do you have the capacity to back up all your documents, all the time?

With outsourced EDI from GXS, you can rest assured that your documents are safely stored and backed up. In addition, with GXS's outsourced EDI, you don't have to spend your time developing templates, writing or adapting code, or attempting to otherwise communicate with trading partners of varying levels of technological sophistication. We can adapt your EDI to adhere to any standards, any level of sophistication, so neither you nor your partners have to invest in expensive hardware and software to be able to do business.

GXS–A Proven EDI Vendor

Our mission, the philosophy that guides us as a global EDI vendor, is to enable businesses to communicate, regardless of size, location, or level of technological sophistication. Our outsourced EDI services provide companies—ranging from large multinational corporations to medium or even small suppliers—the ability to do business with a wider variety of partners and to take advantage of the opportunities presented by e-commerce. Regardless of the size and sophistication of your company, you're only as effective as the weakest link of your chain, and most supply chains consist of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
