Working together and creating a community from a group of business is the basis for EDI. EDI - electronic data (or document) interchange is not a new technology, it has been around for more than 30 years. The beauty of EDI is that it’s based on standardization in the exchange of business documents so that processes are improved and the supply chain operates at its best and fullest capacity. At U Connect ’08 the learning tracks for this year’s exciting conference focus on what’s “new” in supply chain problem solving. Here’s a list focus points of issues facing any size business today:

• Tracking, Tracing, and Recalls
• Going Green, Achieving Sustainability
• Supply Chain Visibility
• Leveling the Playing Field for Small and Medium Sized Companies
• Effective Marketing and Increased Sales
• Trading Partner Collaboration
• Global Supply Chain Efficiency
• GS1 System Standards Update
• Tools and Techniques to Increase Supply Chain Effectiveness
