well, that's the point. you don't. but you can't get back that initial software investment, and the map development and the install, and the pain. you can get rid of staff and annual maintenance. that's why there is a middle ground to outsourcing - remote management. instead of a full time employee, you have a part-time consultant mind the store. you only pay for the expertise you use, instead of having someone sit around and watch the paint dry.

I'd be a bit upset if I was paying paying another company to handle my edi, and I found out I still have to keep all my software in use and all those people in place to keep it functioning. -----Original Message----- From: krishna kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 10:19 PM To: Travis Truax; kakcrawford; [email protected] Subject: Re: [EDI-L] EDI Outsourcing Hi Travis, Can you please explain why you have that perception "after certain period of time we have to throw away GIS" Is there any specific reason for that?

I currently develop and maintain the EDI setup (GIS on iSeries) in-house; conversion to GIS was completed this year. I have approximately 50 trading partners, who dictate the inbound/outbound document formats they send/receive. I would appreciate suggestions for doing a quick study to determine whether this is a feasible option for my company. I am looking for outsourcing options, outsourcing companies, cost ranges, lessons learned (what to look out for), etc. Thanks, Karla ...
