Businesses often delay changing electronic data interchange providers for various reasons. There are common myths surrounding this topic. Concerns over cost, business disruptions, and complications abound. Let's debunk these myths together.

But EDI providers that look proactively for potential issues will save you money in the long run. You need a solution that puts the brakes on any disruptions before they develop. With this in mind, BOLD VAN debunks the myth that it's too costly to switch to a different EDI solution. You will enjoy the following cost savings:
