What is EDI Software?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software is the electronic exchange of business documents between two businesses, called trading partners. These documents are exchanged using a standardized format that allows the business systems to communicate with each other. Sometimes the trading partners require their documents to be translated into the standardized format so that they can clearly communicate with the other trading partner. They will use an EDI software translator to interpret their data for the other system. They can either use in-house software or an EDI software provider, like MicroD, to translate their data for them.
