Implementation costs.
The costs for implementing EDI solutions are very opaque. The prices of the
software can vary from Euro. 1.400 to Euro. 36.000. However, after finishing
the implementation, it often appears that these costs are only a fraction of
the total costs; the consultancy costs for implementing the different
message definitions are in most cases the most relevant costs;
Operational costs.
Based on the frequency most companies send and receive messages, the
operational costs are in no balance, with the advantages of EDI messages. The
operational cost are mainly determined by the selected communication method;
Insufficient know how.
Most companies don't have enough knowledge of computer systems and/or Edifact
knowledge to solve operational problems. To hire external consultants to solve
these problems, will result is high operational costs;
Insufficient added value.
Especially when the EDI investment is done for only one EDI partner, the costs
are in no balance with the advantages of EDI messages. The main reason for
smaller and medium companies to do such an investment is to comply with the
wishes/requests of an important customer.
Because
of these facts, many small companies remain postponing the implementation of
EDI. Doing so, they miss the opportunity to create an efficient and integrated
supply chain. The risk remains that competitors who do invest in EDI, improve
their competitiveness considerably.
During
the last year, OPS has investigated the specific situation of these small to
medium companies and has decided to develop a software tool called BIZchain that complies with a
great deal of the above mentioned problems. BIZchain,
has the following features:

To exchange the messages, BIZchain
will use the cheap infra structure of Internet;
Software is capable to maintain a high level of quality and validity of
outbound messages, which comply, with the demands of the receiver of the
message;
Software is based on the latest technical developments. During the
development of BIZchain, the
functional, and user friendly GUI's were first priority;
Software runs on an independent platform and manages the process of
receiving and sending of messages, automatically.
Although BIZchain is based on many years
of experience at DAF Trucks, the software has a generic structure that can be
implemented in any other environment. In case you are interested in BIZchain, or if you want more
