EC/EDI Ltd. Offers Online Comparison for EDI Costs

New Calculator Compares Value of In-House and Outsourced EDI Services

TWINSBURG, OH (August 28, 2006) - EC/EDI Ltd., the largest outsourced EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solutions provider in the world, recently introduced a value comparison calculator to their website. The calculator allows companies to compare the costs of their in-house EDI with the value offered by outsourced EDI services.

"When deciding how to do EDI, many people don't consider all of the costs associated with doing their company's EDI in-house," said Steve Montgomery, President of EC/EDI, Ltd. "This calculator summarizes all those costs to provide them with an estimate of the value that outsourced EDI services can offer their company."

The calculator takes a number of factors into consideration to help companies estimate the value outsourced EDI can offer them. The number of EDI transactions, the individual documents required for each, and the number of staff members needed to keep in-house EDI running smoothly are all included in the comparison. Other, less obvious issues, such as fines or late fees, employee overhead and turnover, and the repercussions of a system platform change, are also taken into account.

The value comparison calculator, as well as information about outsourcing EDI, can be found on the company's website, www.ECEDILtd.com.

EC/EDI Ltd. Debuts Parody Video to Promote EDI Outsourcing

IT Professionals Will Appreciate the Humor in a New Promotional Video

TWINSBURG, OH (June 19, 2006) - EC/EDI Ltd., the largest outsourced EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solutions provider in the world, recently debuted a brief parody of the cult classic movie Office Space at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. The video was designed to communicate the message about EDI outsourcing in a creative and entertaining way.

"We're really pleased with how well the video is being received by companies that use EDI," said Steve Montgomery, President of EC/EDI, Ltd. "IT professionals seeing the video can all relate to the issues faced in it, and it's really broadened our circle of influence in the industry."

EC/EDI employees made up the majority of the cast for the video. In the introduction of the clip, employees are irritated by the inconvenient requests of a caricatured micromanaging boss modeled after the character Bill Lumbergh from Office Space, played by Gary Maher. After a series of requests highlighting the challenges of doing EDI in-house, the beleaguered employees are saved when John Williamson, Vice President of EC/EDI, steps in to offer his company's help with EDI outsourcing.

The humorous video clip, filmed in Northeast Ohio by Jeff Burroughs of comvid.com, is available through the company's site, www.ECEDILtd.com, and through Google's Video Search function.

EC/EDI Ltd. Leverages Service Oriented Architecture to Provide Collaboration Solution to Clients

New System Allows Enhanced Shipment Tracking and Updating

TWINSBURG, OH (April 3, 2006) - EC/EDI Ltd., the largest outsourced EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solutions provider in the world, announces a new, customizable solution for creating Advanced Shipment Notices, or ASNs. EC/EDI recently provided a client with a custom web based solution allowing that client to sell product at several major retailers, including Walgreen's, Rite Aid and CVS.

By leveraging the agility of its internal Service Oriented Architecture, EC/EDI Ltd., was able to create and deploy the ASN solution in under one month as well as integrate the solution into the client's existing web interface. Since the application is completely web based and built with A.J.A.X. technology, the client can extend use of the application to its third party shippers nationwide without requiring those shippers to be EDI compliant.

With the new solution in place, EC/EDI's clients can track shipments to their trading partners much more efficiently and from anywhere. The solution also gives the client the ability to link purchase orders with shipments and invoices. Most importantly, the client can satisfy mandatory shipping document requirements, resulting in an increase of sales by several hundred percent.
