It's not just EDI . we get a lot of this same sort of stuff on the SAP lists as well. Just this morning there was a guy who asked the Basis list how to set up EDI interfaces in SAP. There are a lot of people out there, and I've had personal experience with a number on large project sites in California, who have no experience but have pawned themselves off as both expert and cheap.
All too often they slip thru the cracks because they get resume writing and interview support on the web and from other like-minded frauds and of course management loves the cheap rates they're being farmed out for so is often willing to overlook red flags. But they pay for their stupidity in the end, in shoddy work, missed deadlines, and having to hire competent consultants to fix the mistakes of the frauds.

Just like Ms. Foerster, I have been surfing this listserve for a long time. However, in my case I am no longer "boggled" when I see it.... it's more like 'disappointed.' It would seem the word has STILL not been sent forth that EDI Consulting work requires skilled, dedicated professionals. Apparently some people still think putting together an EDI system takes little more than learning to use a couple of point-and-click, drag-and-drop touchy-feely screens. Michael C.
