Untapped Revenue Opportunity in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

The managed services market has grown significantly in a very short space of time.
 

In the past five years alone, the managed services' market has almost doubled in value from 2014, rising from £82 billion to £149 billion today, because organisations are more frequently looking towards partnering to meet their IT needs.

With many IT Channel partners capitalising on the trend, and already offering cyber security and IT support services to their customers in automotive, retail, manufacturing, logistics, and the supply chain, they look towards other services where they can add value, customer loyalty and incremental recurring revenues.

Partners who know these sectors understand the immense operational challenges their customers face when trying to facilitate business processes between multiple customers and suppliers.  Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology allows them integrate business management process and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software enables the exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format between participants.

Because of this they are in the enviable position of being able to offer extended services to their customers while increasing customer loyalty.
