What is EDI?

EDI, an acronym for “Electronic Data Interchange,” enables the computer system from one company to “talk” to the computer system of another company and digitally exchange data. Because this digital exchange of data is facilitated using computers, most if not all of the associated business processes can be automated so they occur with little or no manual data entry. This enables companies to electronically exchange information with ease.
