Common Communication |
|
According to the book EDI - A Total Management Guide:
The bulk of our business communication moves by paper or FAX documents.
The problem is that the inconsistent formats between these various forms of communications creates extra work and increases costs for companies that use the "traditional" methods of communication.
Differences in date formats, number formats, etc. can slow down the
settlement process at all stages of production and distribution, which
in turn drives up costs.
