Intelligent Data Interchange

– next level EDI

Document Exchange.
Intelligent and Automated.

IDI

Imagine a future in which data exchange is lightning fast, efficient and smooth. In this new era of intelligent data exchange, we are overcoming old hurdles and unleashing the full potential of your business processes.

Today, in an era of global trade and networked supply chains, the old EDI technology is becoming a burden. Manual processes and data barriers are slowing companies down as the world gets smarter.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the digital world, but the decades-old Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has so far missed out on this change. Traditional EDI technology has become outdated and can no longer meet the dynamic requirements of modern companies.

THE
AUTHOR’S DUO

For Philipp Futterknecht and Tobias Hertfelder, one thing is clear: knowledge must be shared. And so the two have already published two non-fiction books. It was important to them to provide decision-makers in the ERP and strategy environment with up-to-date findings and future action instructions that accompany them in a practical manner from the initial vision to implementation. The three books “The ERP misconception in the SME sector”, “2030 – Strategy development for innovation leaders” and “Data, Disruption & Digital Leadership” have all been published by Springer Verlag.
