# EDI
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) uses standardized formats to enable the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents efficiently and consistently. By facilitating the quick and structured sharing of common documents, EDI has helped organizations across various industries improve productivity and meet regulatory requirements while managing large volumes of critical data.

However, EDI systems often lack compatibility with other modern data formats essential for today’s connected e-business, making data mapping and transformation a key part of any EDI workflow.
