EDI is very much alive and used by businesses worldwide. B2B exchanges are finding that they must integrate with EDI networks in order to tap into day-to-day business processes. Frameworks such as ebXML and RosettaNet provide a new XML-based method of performing EDI functionality, but the real issue is integration with existing EDI systems without forcing customer to install new software. Mark outlines how to achieve this, using XSL to transform to EDI message standards (example chosen - EDIFACT) and then routing the message over an X400 messaging system. This approach is compared with other approaches, both open-standard and vendor-specific.
