Electronic DataInterchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of structured information, by agreed message standards, from one computer application to another by electronic means and with a minimum of human intervention.
In common usage, EDI is understood to mean specific interchange methods agreed upon by national or international standards bodies for the transfer of business transaction data, with one typical application being the automated purchase of goods and services.
The EDI (Electronic DataInterchange) standards were designed from the beginning to be independent of lower level technologies and can be transmitted using Internet protocols as well as private networks.
