EDI Translators
What is an EDI Translator?
EDI (electronic data interchange) translators establish a conduit to bring data into an EDI system.
Electronic data interchange provides a means for information to flow between entities. Companies use EDI to provide enhanced service for their customers and partners, by reducing transaction times and costs. Other benefits of EDI include the reduction of paperwork and better inventory management. When EDI is wed with XML (Extensible Markup Language), structured data can be exchanged over the Internet.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services defines an EDI Translator as:
A software tool for accepting an EDI transmission and converting the data into another format, or for converting a non-EDI data file into an EDI format for transmission.
