This was a response to a query by a member, not a sales pitch. Many Europeans are multi-lingual, as are many Asians. It may surprise some Americans, but the ability to speak only one's own language is not a limitation of civilizations outside the USA.

We're trying to move our Asian distributors from Excel spreadsheets to EDI for the 846 and 867. I've been asked to provide "recommendations" for EDI providers. Some have reported that they can do EDI, but not with "foreign vendors." Others don't have any EDI system at all. Should I just advise them to Google "EDI providers" or "web-based EDI"? Are there any restrictions or limitations on VAN interconnects between countries? I remember long ago, at my last job, that a potential trading partner was using SNS in Singapore and they were going to require us to do the same because they weren't "allowed" to do interconnects, or some such thing (the memory's getting fuzzy). I guess I'm just looking for a general approach. Any ideas would be appreciated. If you're selling, please <SALES> tag your subject. Thanks, Karen Norton. Atmel Corp.
