How long ALWAYS depends on your trading partners and how quickly they can change their
ID to point to your new VAN. Then if your trading partner is on another VAN it will
depend on how long that VAN takes to redirect your ID from your old VAN to the new
VAN. The process is people intensive, lots of call, lots of follow-ups, lots of
finding the right person to talk to. Most VANs will do the leg work for you and some
will actually do it for free but be careful because the VAN you choose directly
reflects on your company. You should prepare a letter on your letter head detailing
the process and time frame then insure that if you use a VAN to do the process that
they use your letter. YOU are the customer YOU pay the bills, VANs provide service to
you, they need to represent YOU well. I know that you asked about VANs the other day,
TranSettlements does a good job on these type projects. I have had less than
favorable experiences with ICC and Kleinschmidt, unless you are big !
GEIS and Sterling seem not to care.
