Government Industry

In 1992, the federal government embraced EDI. In fact, many government agencies mandated it as part of the procurement process. Today, government contractors are still using EDI solutions, not only for creating EDI quotations, but also to exchange business documents such as purchase orders and invoices with government agencies.

Some of the common EDI transactions being exchanged within the government contracting industry are listed next.

Softshare is very familiar with these EDI transactions, and our various EDI solutions support all of them.

Our enterprise integration solution, which consists of Softshare Delta, our data translator, and Softshare ECS, our e-commerce communications server, provides for seamless integration of EDI into your overall business processes. Softshare's professional services group can assist with implementation or provide training if you want to develop your own data translation maps.

If your company is not ready for full-scale EDI integration, you can connect to your government partners using Softshare Athena, our Web EDI solution. Athena is forms-based, making the exchange of EDI documents similar to that of e-mail.

A sampling of the government agencies that Softshare's clients exchange EDI documents with is provided next.
