Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic interchange of business information between businesses using a standardized format.  A standard business process which allows business to business information transfer via electronic means, rather than with paper. Business entities conducting business electronically are called “trading partners”.

With changes to workplaces and shopping habits with respect to the pandemic and social distancing rules, it is important to adapt to the changing needs of consumers. It can be difficult to adjust and find which things to change in your business in order to have the highest positive impact on opportunities and success. In this blog, we will discuss 4 digital trends that have impacted the business environment and why you should adopt these trends sooner rather than later.

The last six months have been a real test of endurance for businesses. One thing that has become evident to many business leaders is that having easy access to organizational data is essential to survival. Companies who can quickly access critical information and are made aware of changes as they happen are the ones who can flex, change, innovate and find a way forward in the most challenging times.

Over the past few years, virtual events have gained traction as an alternative or add-on to in-person events. With social distancing still in place, virtual and on-demand events are becoming the new normal and method of delivery by many Organizations. 

Although physical interactions are no longer present, there are a number of reasons why virtual events are beneficial - and in some areas more beneficial for you to attend. In this blog, we will share the benefits as well as steps to prepare to get the most out of your attendance.

Many companies struggle with the question: should you replace or integrate your spreadsheets? In this blog, we will recap the discussion from our recent webinar, and share with you our knowledge on the topic. There are many areas internally that you're likely tracking in a spreadsheet or even working with a customer or vendor where you have spreadsheets that could possibly be integrated. We will discuss the surface level of integrating and replacing your spreadsheets and get you thinking about what you could have in your ERP Solution rather than an outside of the system; for example an AP Invoice integrated to save time and manual data entry.

Most businesses these days use Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets in one fashion or another.  Given there are a variety of uses for spreadsheets to read, review and manipulate your data, it is hard to see how using this tool could limit your business.

Spreadsheets are relied on by many businesses to organize, calculate and gain insights into their data, however, more and more businesses are choosing automation. One of the key reasons for this evolving trend of automation is human error prevention, especially in repetitive tasks. 

In today’s business landscape business owners are bombarded with a variety of software solutions and tools. Although, many of these tools are created by different providers and do not easily integrate with one another. We at BAASS understand these difficulties and we have worked with a variety of businesses over the years to create custom integrations and/or find tools capable of serving the need and integrating with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
