You're asking for a service and saying no sales calls. So, good luck with that.
If you're looking for opinions on SPS, do a search of the archives, I'll pay you a nickel for every good reference you find. Every VAN out there and probably the "services" department of your own translator vendor would love to help you for a cost. Have you spoken with them? As for connectivity, a single VAN should be able to handle all your traffic through interconnects unless these 16 customers are requiring individual connections of some kind. If you really mean customers and not suppliers, you're likely going to need new maps for each customer, unless you're lucky enough to be in an industry that adheres closely to a standard. Are you asking for help with connectivity, mapping, testing, or some combination? You'll need different skill sets for each of these. If you really have an EDI "group" and it's not just you, then you need to go back to whoever told you they need this done in 2 months, explain your other priorities and have your mutual management figure out a plan to properly prioritize this work. 16 customers in 2 months (without knowing the specifics of your industry) shouldn't be impossible unless your plate is already full. Another possibility is to hire a contractor (or two) either to take over your existing work while you onboard these new customers or to do the onboarding for you. Just my 2.5 cents.

I have contacted SPS Commerce and have searched for other similar companies via the internet. I haven't found much and wanted to pose this to the group and see what other options might be available. We have an internal EDI group and translator but are not able to support this quick of a stand up with this volume of customers. The idea is if we could create a standard map and leverage an existing connection then we can support this business need. I understand that there isn't a magic bullet and that there will be development on our side initially but afterwards the setup should be minimal. If you have worked with SPS or other vendors please provide me with your pro/con with each. No sales calls will be entertained via this thread.
