The benefits of participating in a trading community and exchanging business documents electronically include the reduction in cost associated with a traditional, paper-based exchange as well as a reduction in the number of errors inherent in such an exchange. After all, critical transactions involving purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and other documents drive your business. The ability to participate in a trading community to exchange this information efficiently and securely is key to success.
