Understanding about EDI Communication Protocols

One of the keys to exchanging EDI documents or messages lies in communication.

EDI protocols are the technologies or software that enable the secure and standardized exchange of data between different computer systems. Both parties must use the same protocol to communicate, unless they use a VAN.

There are several EDI communication protocols. Some are adapted to the particular needs of an industry, meeting the security, non-repudiation, traceability, and integration requirements for the exchange of structured EDI transactions between two business partners.

These are some of the most commonly used communication protocols in EDI:

  • VAN
  • AS2
  • HTTP/HTTPs
  • OFTP2
  • FTP/FTPs
  • SFTP
  • SOAP
  • SMTP
