CLIENT BACKGROUND

An automotive manufacturer was moving from customized COBOL business applications to the Oracle Applications ERP system.  In addition, for their EDI (over three-quarters of their orders were received via EDI) they were switching from Sterling Commerce Gentran Basic running on an IBM zSeries platform to Gentran Server running on Unix.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES:

	The company's operating divisions had common customers, so inbound 850s required SDQ segments for cross-docking.
	Some customers required RFID which necessitated pick-and-pack hierarchies on the 856s.
	Canadian postal codes.
	SLN looping on Invoices (810s).
	IT and Customer Service staffs at the multiple operating divisions would have to be retrained.
	All of these transitions had to be accomplished without disruption to ongoing business processes.

	Hugh overall savings in data entry time.
	If necessary, further EDIGuys support is quickly and remotely available.
