We are also getting pressure to begin EDI but only from one major customer. My
main purpose for going to COMMON was to gather as much info as possible on
EDI. After 2 full days of sessions on the subject (there were more) and a
vendor demo, we will more than likely go with a package.

Premenos was bought out by Harbinger and I _thought_ I understood it that
that's _the_ package SSA uses. Did I get wrong info on that one? After
everything I learned, I totally agree with your last statement. We're hoping
to get more trading partners to EDI with us for a good ROI.
