What is NetSuite?

What is EDI ?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the electronic transmission of data from one computer system to another by standardized message formatting, without human intervention. Data can be exchanged through serial links and peer-to-peer networks, though most exchanges currently rely on the Internet for connectivity. Many business documents exchange using web EDI Services, but purchase orders and invoices are the two most common documents There are 4 major sets EDI standards UN/EDIFACT, ANSI ASC X12, TRADACOM and ODETTE. These were designed to be independent of communication and software technologies
But the problem with EDI is redundancy. Companies of all sizes have different systems in place: i.e. Warehouse management ,ERP, CRM. Some other companies might only operate their business using NetSuite.
