Take pride in your work

Over the years I have worked on many developments and worked with a number of people within the business as well as external people working at third party companies and retail customers.

It is with this knowledge and experience I am now able to discuss most things EDI. If there is documentation that describes:

1. The supported transactions

2. The file formats

3. The connection type

4. Any particular business requirements

I can normally work through the requirements and:

1. Define the solution

2. Document the solution

3. Test the solution

4. Support the solution

Please feel free to contact me if you feel there is something you can relate to and want to discuss. I have developed solutions from the ground up so hope I can aid your business.
