The implementation of Internet based on EDI has become a major issue because of the huge development of the internet. Internet EDI is a technology which combines the strength of EDI and Internet technologies and it can be classified in FTP-EDI, SMTP/MINE EDI, and Web EDI. Recently, the number of companies which are adopted Web EDI increase to overcome shortcomings of high communication costs and high foundation and maintenance expenses of VAN EDI. This research is intended to examine the effect that characteristics of innovation and partnership as relationship with trading partner will affect the Web-EDI implementation. To achieve these purposes, we surveyed people who are in charge of Web EDI in their companies. A survey questionnaire was sent 376 people in charge of Web EDI in their companies, and 66 usable responses were obtained. The results of this research can be summarized as follows. First, it's affirmed, among partnership factors, that participation and interdependence significantly affect Web EDI implementation. It's also suggested, among innovation factors, compatibility, relative advantage, and cost reduction significantly affect Web EDI implementation.

Recently firms which have been using traditional VAN-EDI are adapting Web-EDI at very rapid pace. Based on the Internet, Web-EDI is easier to install, is cheaper and more accessible than VAN-EDI. Web-EDI establishes an electronic hierarchy as a type of Inter-Organization Information System. An electronic hierarchy connects two legally separate firms in an electronically mediated relationship. The primary reasons for establishing an electronic hierarchy is to improve the flow of materials and information between firms. This paper suggests two hypotheses that describe the possible impact of Web-EDI on firms in the Web-EDI network, and empirically tests them using data from a case study based on a discount store. The result is as follows. First, the more a firm utilizes information shared through Web-EDI, the higher the inventory turns. Second, a higher level of information sharing does not necessarily increase the inventory turns of Web-EDI adopters who are coerced to implement the electronic networks by the champion. These findings imply that the operational performance of Web-EDI adopters can be improved only when the firms intensively utilize the information shared through Web-EDI for their business processes.

본 연구에서는 Web-EDI 서비스를 제공하고 있는 KTNET의 이용 기업들의 사례를 분석하여 Web-EDI의 도입효과, 장애요인, 개발과 구현상 문제점 등을 VAN EDI와 비교, 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 주된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기존 VAN EDI를 대체하는 Web-EDI의 도입은 기존 EDI 담당자들의 선호도, 최고경영자의 지원, 기업 간 관계증진이 영향을 준다. 둘째, 본 연구결과 Web-EDI의 확산에는 서비스 제공업체와 사용기업간의 관계가 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있다.

The importance of EDI is growing more and more as the trend of E-Commerce is changing to B2B from B2C. So far WEB-EDI system using HTML has substituted for existing traditional VAN-EDI system. But the critical problem of WEB-EDI is that integrating among the internal systems in the company is difficult. In this paper we suggests a method for integrating the internal data and thus internal systems by using XML, a second generation markup language.

The purpose of this research is to provide strategic guidelines for EDI transaction companies to migrate from EDI system to Web-based e-Business frameworks such as ebXML, RosettaNet and Web Services. Due to various limitations of EDI and evolution of Web technologies, a lot of firms want to adopt Internet based B2B standards However, they are seeking ways of migrating from EDI to open and public B2B frameworks smoothly not giving up existing EDI system at a time. Therefore, it is very important to provide migration strategies and guidelines for companies to migrate from EDI system to Web-based B2B frameworks. The strategic guidelines provided in this paper can be used as a practical guidance in developing migration strategies of EDI companies.

EDI(Electronic Data Interchange) allows the exchange of business information and computer-processable data in a standard, structured format electronically between organizational entities. EDI handles the restructuring of a business document into the standard format so that it can be transmitted from one computer to another. This paper identifies features and technologies of web browsed electronic document exchange system as follows 1) the fundamental technologies that consists of the EDI technologies, the Internet/Web technologies, the security/authentication techniques, and the XML implementation technologies. 2) the functions that consists of the document standards, transfer technology of the document, encryption and authentication 3) the implemented Web-EDI systems that consists of document generation module, encryption and authentication module, transfer module, acknowledgement module, administration module. In this paper, the Web-based EDI system implemented from the researched technologies will be installed on the EDI servers owned by corporate customers and enable the exchange of documents between each installed companies.

At present, the EDI systems are indispensable software in port logistics industry. Currently, a monopolistic VAN/EDI service provider operates the EDI services. The current EDI client software has the 2-tier fat client/server architecture. However, the current EDI software is lack of Web interface and causes lots of cost for maintenance. Therefore, a variety of implementation architecture has been being tried by using script, XML and distributed object-oriented technology. Web/EDI and XML/EDI are the new EDI systems, However, the EDI systems have some limitations such as speed. This study intends to compare the variety implementation architecture for the EDI systems in the users' perspective and explore the strong and weak points of each architecture. We compared the EDI systems based on our experience of more than 2-years of implementation project for the EDI systems of port logistics. We categorized the EDI systems as client application EDI, Web EDI using script, XML/EDI, and 3-tier distributed object-oriented EDI system. We compared them with criteria such as speed, program maintenance, easiness of implementation and usage, security, and load balancing and fail-over. Finally we discuss the direction of optimal EDI system architecture for the future.

Recently, lots of EDI-VAN (Electronic Data Interchange-Value Added Network) companies challenge to convert their business systems into Web-based e-business frameworks to avoid high cost and closed structure of EDI system. This research proposes e-Transformation strategies for EDI-VAN companies to adopt Web-based e-business standard frameworks such as ebXML (e-business using XML) and RosettaNet. Four migration strategies for EDI companies are presented, and their properties are described in detail. Transformation procedures of two representative strategies are also provided fur the convenience of medium-sized companies. The result of this work can be used as a practical guideline for EDI companies to develop there own transformation strategy suitable to its scale and capability, while minimizing the impacts on the pre-existing business processes.
