Large businesses may have invested heavily in software, but many of those applications still do not communicate effectively with one another. The average enterprise uses 897 applications, yet only 29% are integrated. That leaves 71% operating without direct integration, creating a significant gap between the technology businesses have purchased and the way those systems work together.
The issue is increasingly less about access to software and more about connectivity between existing systems. When applications operate independently, information can become delayed, duplicated or dependent on manual re-entry. Data may need to be moved between systems by employees, increasing operational complexity and creating more opportunities for errors or incomplete information.
EDI Plus is focused on addressing that connection problem. Its role is to help businesses link systems so information can move between applications without relying on fragmented processes. Rather than requiring companies to replace the technology they already use, greater integration can allow existing applications to operate as part of a more connected infrastructure.
