EDIFACT Messaging with Ensemble

InterSystems Ensemble is one of the most powerful integration and development platforms. Naturally, UN/EDIFACT is part of its repertoire. As the standard for the data format, and not just the transmission of data, in principle EDIFACT is independent of the medium. In addition, EDIFACT is independent of the transfer protocol used.

In practice however, there are still challenges where it is vital that UN/EDIFACT and its subsets are fully integrated in Ensemble. Ensemble for example not only forwards EDI messages, it also provides options such as plausibility checks and automatic message transformation. As a result, defective data packets or incomplete data content are detected during transport and can be requested again with persistent communications protocols as legally-compliant verification, as is always the case with Ensemble.

Additional information is available on InterSystems Ensemble and UN/EDIFACT in this presentation. It also provides an introduction into Ensemble's unique, cost-saving approach of process modeling and process development in a single development step.
