| Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) (1186 words) |
| EDI is defined as the interprocess communication of business information in a standardized electronic form which deals with the information transfer between the computer systems of companies, government organizations, small business and banks. |
| EDI requires the trading partners to agree upon a common set of standards so that the data transmitted between the computers of the companies are in a particular format which both of them can understand. |
