EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is set of widely-used formats that define a standard syntax for the computer-to-computer transmission of business documents. EDI systems are designed to allow trading partners to exchange common documents such as purchase orders, invoices, insurance claims, etc., more efficiently, eliminating much of the time, paper, human interaction, and errors previously associated with these types of transactions. Two of the most popular EDI standards in use today are:

ANSI X12 (American National Standards Institute X12): the de facto EDI standard used in North America
UN / EDIFACT (United Nations Electronic Data Interchange for Administration Commerce and Transport): most prevalent international EDI standard

X12 and EDIFACT EDI systems have proven beneficial for allowing organizations across diverse industries to increase productivity by exchanging large amounts of information with partners in a quick, standardized way.

We implement the older protocols, new and emerging protocols such as EDIINT (AS1/AS2) , business level protocols such as RosettaNet and Global Data Synchronization. Basic Transports include: FTP Client, S/FTP Client, FTP Server, S/FTP Server, HTTP, HTTP/S, AS1, AS2, etc.

In addition to implementation support and consultancy, Globotek also provides ongoing production support and trading partner enablement services for the trading hubs of large customers.

It enables secure information exchange and streamlines business processes with your suppliers, customers and trading partners.

Globotek has experience in working with some of the well known EAI tools that include TIBCO, Webmethods, Vitria and MQ series. In addition Globotek engineers and systems analysts have working experience with a variety of enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle Apps, PeopleSoft, etc. as well as many custom built systems. This breadth of exposure allows Globotek to accomplish integration of the e-commerce gateway to the backend systems in a short time.

ANSI X12, EDIFACT, Rosetta Net, XML, ebXML etc Standards are the familiar standards for Globotek, having been exposed to each one of these standards in course of recent projects.

ebXML has been recently gaining ground with more and more companies implementing AS2 in their collaborative commerce environment. In many respects ebXML represents an evolution of AS1/AS2. ebXML Message Service Specifications have been built on the foundation provided by AS1/AS2. The fact that it gives users the ability to exchange internet based messages regardless of whether the format is EDI, XML or binary files has given ebXML an universal appeal in large supply chains such as the automotive supply chain.

RosettaNet is another standard that is rapidly gaining critical mass especially in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Globotek has engineers who have implemented RosettaNet based supply chains.
