EIDX B2B Content Standards: ASC X 12
EDIFACT was developed from the Europena and American EDI standards. Around 1986, the United Nation Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) began revamping the “Guidelines for Trade Data Interchange" and was about to publish them as the standard. At the same time, development of the US Standards for EDI was undertaken by the Joint Electronic Data Interchange Committee (JEDI). The two organisations got together and the debate on a world wide standard began. It culminated in September 1987 with the Technical Committee 154 of the International Organisation for Standardisation unanimously agreeing that the EDIFACT syntax would be published as the international standard.

ANSI agreed to sunset the X12 standard by 1997. However, as 1997 approached, thousands of organisations in the U.S. had heavy investments in the X12 standard, and saw no benefit to switch over to EDIFACT just for the sake of being on the international standard, especially if the organisation had only X12 partners and no EDIFACT partners. In 1997, the priorities were preparing for Y2K and implementing the new generation of ERP applications. X12 development and maintenance will continue for the foreseeable future.

Today, the same discussions are occurring regarding migrating to XML-based standards like OAGIS and RosettaNet; the return on investment is not in converting the legacy EDI partnerships that work today, but in evaluating the business processes where the legacy EDI standards have not yet been applied. EDI works for most of what is being done in XML today. It is a myth that EDI is batch-only, not real-time, and that EDI doesn't allow adequate back-end integration. The reality is that companies are using the move to XML standards to make changes to back-end applications that could have been done to enable real-time EDI.

EIDX recommends EDIFICE Guidelines for EDIFACT.
