Where companies once sent business documents via fax, mail or email, they can now send electronic documents cheaply and efficiently over the Internet. By using our open standards, you are less tied to a particular vendor, you can more easily communicate with trading partners, and there is no need for manual data re-entry when you move or copy data.

 

The bottom line is lower business costs, greater efficiencies, and greater integration between trading partners and customers.

 

If you are planning to use our Standards, then the best way to quickly learn is to become a member. Assuming that you are not an IT expert, you should also contact the person in your organisation who manages your IT applications, and ask them to tell you more about XML as a method for data and document exchange.
