Partner Connect® EDI

A closer look at Partner Connect® EDI.

A History of EDI Innovation

Grey Wolf’s Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for Infor (SX and CSD) or Epicor (Prophet 21 and Prophet 21 Cloud) solutions has been evolving since 1997. 

Partner Connect has improved over time from supporting spEDItran to BizTalk Server to a hosted solution. Partner Connect changes as technology has changed.

Beyond ANSI X12

EDI has been around for decades. Over that time, the evolution of what EDI encompasses has evolved. While the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) tries to standardize EDI document sets, the human factor has intervened and prevented standards in EDI to become unique and specific to trading partner requirements.

From our perspective, EDI is not just ANSI X12. Partner Connect supports XML, CSV, Excel, PDF – any file format. In addition, it does not require a VAN.  Partner Connect supports SMTP, FTP, sFTP, HTTP, AS2 – almost any transfer protocol.

Infor and Epicor ERP Integration without EDI Modules and Importers

Partner Connect does not require an EDI module or importer at the ERP level. Instead, APIs and Web Services provide the integration with your Infor or Epicor ERP (Prophet 21, SX.enterprise, Prophet 21 Cloud or CloudSuite Distribution). This gives you more flexibility and control over your integration at a much lower cost.

Grey Wolf is integrating with your Infor or Epicor ERP system through Grey Wolf Connector Lite (a prerequisite for Partner Connect).
