How to Create an Effective EDI Project Management Strategy? EDI Consultants

1) Choose the right EDI service partner
Assess your internal technical infrastructure and resources and see which type of software and team will fit well with your business needs

2) Develop an outcome-based EDI project strategy
Once you have decided on the right partner, it is necessary to plan the strategy for EDI rollout. The most effective method of EDI implementation involves a step-by-step approach to onboarding your partners.
a) Project timelines
b) Order of trading partners to be on boarded
c) Desired outcome
d) Tools required
e) Any external factors that might affect the timelines

3) Use the right project management tools
This may not be stressed upon too much by the EDI service providers but in general it is important to track and be actively involved in providing and receiving project updates on both sides. You’ll need the right tools and flexibility from your EDI partner to work with your requirements.

As a best practice, we always advise that it is always better for your internal team to lead the project because no one knows your internal structure and your trading partners’ contractual obligations better than you.
