3. EDI Solution: The Paper Data Gateway®

Sending information electronically in a secured and controlled way, is the aim of the service we provide to our customers using the Emsys® Paper Data Gateway®.

Emsys® has been doing EDI projects over 15 years using the different market standards such as PAPINET, EDIPAP, EDIFACT or any other used communication method that the customer is asking us.

Based on this large experience and a volume today of handling more than 1000 messages a day, we have totally redeveloped our concept.

Doing EDI projects is not just using a tool. Most important is to manage the project and work according to a professional methodology. Emsys® developed a methodology that ensures a successful implementation using a Project Initiation Document (PID), a project plan and a detailed test scenario.

Our methodology is proven and the products that we use are market standards that have been adopted by Emsys® and tailored to the specific requirements of the paper industry.
