I agree. I think the numbers of importance are: How many active trading partners are you supporting? (whether a trading partner has 1 transaction or 1000 per month, it still takes the same amount of time researching any that have gone awry).
Do you have multiple relationships with those same trading partners across your organization? In some cases, this might as well be counted as a separate partner. How many maps are you running? And of those, do you support multiple versions? What is your processing schedule like? Do you run one large batch job in the middle of the night, or are there many jobs/processes that run continuously? Does your EDI "team" also support the transmission of the data to the VAN (or other vehicle) or is that handled by a different group? Those are the areas where I can measure my time. Transactions can measure how much you might be savings on electronic vs. paper. *** I support 90 trading partners, with multiple organizational relationships. 21 transaction maps, which includes the multiple versions of each. 50 batch jobs running throughout the day. (I'm on Gentran/MVS.) I also support all activity related to the VAN. I am the only EDI support person for a company in the utility industry.
