(laugh) You saw me palm that card. Yes, it is 2% by count. I guess I should go back and look at the transaction volumes. However, we have many platinum customers who adamantly refuse to move to AS2.
I am all of a sudden interested in our AS2 volume. I will look into this metric and get back to the list. -----Original Message----- From: Earl Wertheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 5:25 PM To: Hurd, Richard [SLCUS]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Translation over the Web Richard > >VANS continue to shrink because they are over-priced and AS2 / EDIINT > >(Direct Internet Connection) are winning.

I think that the higher volume partners would be more interested in switching to a cheaper solution. The cost of VANs is offset by the cost of setting up & maintaining an AS2 connection. We've already seen people here who cannot justify the cost of additional AS2 licenses ;-( Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
