Hi Debi -- Your email caught my attention as I am speaking Jan 21 at the local Oracle Apps User Group's Training Days at the Santa Clara Convention Center, and am writing my presentation this very moment. My topic is the "7 Secrets of a Successful Data Integration". It is geared to the Oracle crowd. My emphasis will be a bit different than yours.
One of my "secrets" is that EDI still rocks. I'm sure that most of you know this. There was an excellent article on this written by Steve Keifer called "EDI and Darwin -- Survival of the Fittest". http://www.imakenews.com/edi/e_article001103142.cfm?x=bcHwSf7,b3lJRn6w,w. You might start there. Upper Management loves $$'s. So if you can make a case for BRINGING IN REVENUE because of EDI with major customers as well as cost savings, you will have a hit. Good Luck.
