EDI with perfect services

    The specialist for 4-way EDI

    Listen, understand, develop solutions: EDI consulting

    EDI is a real booster for more efficient supply chain management - provided that the complexity of the supply chain is analyzed and taken into account accordingly.

    This is exactly what DIG takes care of with EDI consulting, flexible 4-way EDI (FDI or flexible data interchange) and over two decades of experience with all common protocols and message formats in all possible combinations. With its Fully Managed EDI Services, DIG takes care of the complete setup and operation of EDI connections. As a transparent partner, DIG offers all the services required for the successful operation of an EDI solution!

    Service 1: independent EDI consulting

    In the course of globalization, supply chains have expanded - and with them the challenges and benefits of an EDI implementation. The different sizes, conditions and requirements of the various business partners demand maximum flexibility of the technical solution. DIG guarantees this as a very rare provider that offers all EDI solutions via four channels. For your project, this means independent consulting without technical restrictions that stand in the way of an ideal solution.

    Service 2: future-proof EDI conception

    The basic approach of DIG's EDI consulting is to involve all stakeholders in a thorough analysis of the supplier structure and all information processes and workflows . The realistic optimization potential results from this step. The appropriate EDI types and routing channels are derived from the individual requirements and foreseeable future developments in the supplier structure and are presented accordingly in the digitization concept (direct EDI or point-to-point EDI, web EDI, PDF by mail or XML by mail). This solution flexibility is complemented by the DIG software architecture, which allows the channels used to be expanded at any time. This means that additional channels can be activated at a later date and new functions created to guarantee you what is important when investing in EDI: future-proofing.

    Service 3: Scalability without personnel costs

    The goals of EDI are more process efficiency, better supplier relationships and, last but not least, cost savings! On the way there, however, implementation problems can result in additional costs that significantly extend the amortization period. In particular, the development of in-house EDI capabilities and organizational structures for setting up and operating an EDI solution or introducing EDI to trading partners are cost drivers that should not be underestimated. The reputational costs in the event of a poorly running EDI implementation are also a significant disruptive factor, especially against the backdrop of overloaded supply chains. On the other hand, DIG's EDI experts offer complete implementation, including the connection of all partners and maintenance, as a full service. This allows you to offer a growing number of business partners state-of-the-art document flow options. And without any internal effort.

    Service 4: 24/7 monitoring and customer support

    At DIG, we see EDI as a business-critical function. Monitoring data traffic and proactively preventing problems are therefore part of DIG's partnership-based corporate philosophy. Every route and every document is monitored during ongoing operations - 24/7, all year round. A specially programmed solution monitors the individual processes and reliably reports errors such as a failed transmission to the support experts. They usually take care of solving the problem before our customers become aware of it.

    DIG uses the tried-and-tested Icinga monitoring software to monitor the overall system and the individual modules. Depending on the customer's requirements, we also optimize this with regard to individual processes that need to be monitored particularly closely.

    In addition, the customer is provided with a transaction monitor that can be used to monitor and analyze all document flows at a glance.

    Service 5: maximum security cloud solution

    The DIG Portal is operated as a cloud solution via certified data centers of A1 Telekom Austria (Austria's largest data center provider - the Fort Knox for data security). For failover, the servers are mirrored across two locations. Backups are created according to the grandfather-father-son principle: This generational principle ensures that several backups are always available in different time increments for a possible system recovery. In addition, an encrypted physical backup is stored every night at an additional, secret location.

    The A1 data centers also impress as a Tier 3 data center with the highest standards of system technology, energy efficiency and data security: this includes physical access protection and its own security service, alarm system, video surveillance and fire protection as well as redundant components, duplicate servers and multiple active and passive supply paths, e.g. for the necessary air conditioning.

    Availability is 99.98%, which corresponds to a maximum downtime of 1.6 hours per year. State-of-the-art encryption and security features such as single sign-on, two-factor authentication (2FA), role-based access control, authentication logging and a strong password policy as well as regular security audits and careful patch management guarantee the secure operation of the software.

    • Server mirroring at two locations and additional physical backup
    • Backups according to the grandfather-father-son principle
    • 99.98 percent availability
    • Fail-safe cloud solution in A1 Telekom Austria's Tier 3 data centers
