Business Continuity Services

As more and more companies rely on technology to effectively and efficiently run their businesses, it has become equally important to plan for the occasional and sometimes significant disruption of these businesses due to a host of potential technological setbacks.

While your company may have invested in redundant power and processing solutions, the implementation of EDI requires a complex and dynamic environment that is suspect to both short-term and potentially long-term disruptions. Does your company have a contingency plan in place in the event of a loss of service to your EDI systems? What would happen if there were a significant delay in getting the specialized resources (which often are outside consultants) to tend to your EDI problems?

Due to the timely requirements of transmitting EDI documents, as well as the potentially expensive charge-backs for lack of compliance, many companies are investing in redundant EDI solutions that guarantee a continuity of business service.

Standby*EDI Service is a unique solution to this problem. Digital Movers maintains and runs a state-of-the-art EDI outsourcing service ( Host*EDI) for hundreds of companies that have chosen to achieve all of the benefits of EDI without owning the technological requirements. However, for those companies that, for whatever reason, choose to maintain an in-house EDI infrastructure, Standby*EDI Service provides business continuity insurance.

Here's how it works: We implement ONE of your Trading Partners (current or new) onto our service. We setup the VAN communications, mapping, and bridging to your applications and add the remainder of your current Trading Partners to our service in a hold-status. EDI for one trading partner is processed daily in a production mode enabling you to take advantage of our proprietary document tracking solution called Insight. In the case of a crisis, we quickly become your primary processor of EDI data until you are ready to take it back.
