Hmmm.. makes Me wonder how much cash that company (Kofax?) is passing along to Chris Mellor (the author of the ... article ...) for such a stunning blow to the EDI Industry....
One thing that Mellor fails to grasp is that EDI can be and IS "human readable" - if you know how to read it... Hell, I wrote about that in a blog a while back over on http://editalk.com/edi- news/2008/03/25/edi-vs-xml-how-readable-is-xml - about how EDI can be human readable... Of course, there is also the concept of - oh, I don't know - creating a REPORT in your back-end system that can be formatted to be "human readable" and can look anyway the AP department wants it to look! Well, at least Mellor didn't talk about using XML to get the data from vendor to buyer.... Geez...!
