Led EDI initiatives at three different manufacturers. Specialized in EDIFACT, API migrations, and supply chain data integration.
The transformation from traditional EDI to agentic EDI implementation isn't just another technology upgrade—it's becoming a strategic imperative that separates competitive organizations from those stuck in reactive, manual troubleshooting cycles. Agentic EDI refers to the integration of autonomous AI agents into EDI systems, enabling them
While most companies still batch process their EDI transactions overnight, real-time EDI processing can handle transactions in minutes rather than days or weeks. Supply chains equipped with real-time tracking systems and integrated platforms provide instant insights, with EDI systems playing a crucial role in aggregating and distributing data across partners.
A new study from a Google Quantum AI researcher suggests that a 2048-bit RSA encryption key, a common standard for securing online data, could be cracked in less than a week using a quantum computer with fewer than a million noisy qubits—an order-of-magnitude drop from previous estimates. While NIST
Organizations now see 1,925 cyberattacks per week—that's a 47% jump from 2024. Ransomware incidents surged by 126% in Q1 2025 alone, with North America taking the biggest hit at 62% of all attacks. For supply chain professionals managing EDI cloud migrations, these statistics aren't
Supply chain leaders are facing an unprecedented challenge: 68 percent of technology leaders are planning to consolidate their vendor landscape, but at the same time, there are "less and less EDI companies out there for clients or consultants to choose from". This creates a perfect storm where businesses
The July 2030 deadline for Digital Reporting Requirements will affect cross-border B2B transactions across the EU, and here's what most EDI managers haven't grasped yet: each member state will be free to develop their own reporting protocols and technical specifications. This is an important point for
Your CFO just asked why you're spending another $200K on EDI infrastructure when "APIs are the future." Meanwhile, your biggest supplier still sends ASNs via X12, and your warehouse management system was built when Clinton was president. You're caught between the promise of modern
Nearly half of IT managers report that slow EDI supplier onboarding is currently keeping their businesses from capturing new revenue opportunities. Yet most companies continue accepting 8-10 week EDI onboarding times. They don't try to streamline the process because they think it has to be this way—but
Your AI-powered EDI automation project just failed spectacularly. Nearly half of companies report their AI initiatives running behind schedule or over budget, and AI development costs can range from $50k to $500k+ depending on complexity. The promise of automated data mapping, predictive analytics, and intelligent error detection sounds compelling, but
Multi-factor authentication represents the most cost-effective defense against nearly 30% of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) that were weaponized within 24 hours of disclosure in 2025. With more than 23,600 vulnerabilities published in the first half of 2025 alone, representing a 16% increase over 2024, EDI systems face unprecedented exposure
EU companies started reporting under new sustainability requirements in 2025, and companies must disclose data on their greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water usage, and waste management practices with all reported data needing to be digitally tagged and audited. The problem? Scope 3 emissions typically represent 70–90% of a
Legacy EDI monitoring costs manufacturers an average of $62,000 daily when performance bottlenecks disrupt supply chain operations. The culprit? Most organizations still rely on batch processing systems that update transaction status hours after failures occur, while trading partners demand real-time visibility and instant error resolution.
