Barcelona, September 18, 2024.- John Radko is SVP of engineering at OpenText and has published an analysis on the collaboration between EDI and AI solutions. These are his theses:
As AI permeates every facet of our digital landscape, with 80% of organizations already exploring or investing in generative AI, its impact on EDI operations is profound. Three key domains illustrate this symbiotic relationship:
Accelerating data mapping. Traditionally, data mapping has been a laborious undertaking. AI injects efficiency into this process, mitigating complexity and enhancing cost-effectiveness. While full automation remains a distant goal, AI streamlines various mapping stages, from requirements gathering to field mapping, driving significant savings.
Empowering users. Visibility is paramount in navigating EDI complexities. AI augments user experience, offering interactive guidance and proactive support. By empowering users to harness the full potential of B2B integration solutions, AI fosters productivity gains and reduces support overheads.
Enhancing analytics. Beyond facilitating data exchange, EDI harbors a trove of actionable insights. AI-infused analytics tools unlock this potential, enabling detection of anomalies, performance analysis and contextual insights. By embedding AI capabilities, such as learning algorithms, these tools pave the way for informed decision-making and value creation.
In the ever-shifting landscape of global commerce, the marriage of EDI and AI heralds a new era of efficiency and collaboration. By embracing this synergy, organizations can unlock the full potential of their supply chains, propelling them towards greater resilience and agility in the digital age.
