Yea, sure, great. Now all you need to do is find a partner that can take the XML instead of X12. Call Wal-Mart, tell them that you're changing. See how far you get, and report back to us.
If you want to ditch that expensive translator for a free (or lower cost) one ... fine. You can do all of your translation in c# or perl. Are you going to build all the rest of the good stuff you need, such as compliance checking and trading partner maintenance? It is still infinitely cheaper to buy than build.
