Recognizing the opportunity

• By our first version in 1989 it appeared that
  most suppliers had already made EDI software
  selections
• However, even today, we continue to observed
  ineffective use of EDI inside supplier-side
  operations (rip-n-read syndrome)
• It is clear that SmartEDI is unique
• So, our strategy emerged
• Support and extend the functionality for our
  current clients
• Promote solution to new suppliers
• Promote solution to suppliers disenchanted with
  their 1st choice
• Position to support supply chain of other plants
  in the US and Canada
• Position to support e-business level supply chain
  management

So, what makes SmartEDI unique?

• The difference is in the details.
