ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 Question 74
ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 — Question 74 of 80
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) — identify the definition of EDI among similar IT/business terms.
EDI is the computer-to-computer exchange of business transaction data (invoices, purchase orders, shipping notices) using standardized protocols and formats. It eliminates paper-based processes by allowing systems to communicate directly.
Why not others:
- (a) Describes a VAN (Value-Added Network) — a service that stores and converts data transmitted over networks
- (b) Describes MHS/X.400 — an international e-mail standard based on the OSI model
- (c) Describes EOS (Electronic Ordering System) — a system for placing orders electronically from terminals
Key rule: EDI = standardized electronic exchange of business documents between computers — look for "business transaction data" + "standard protocols."
