信息和通信技术的进步使文件处理得到改善。例如:多数签约机构现在使用个人计算机和字处理软件准备合同文件、信件和支持文件。也有许多机构使用传真机来加速求购和供货信息的交换。另外一种称之为电子数据交换(EDI)的自动化工具现在可以用来减轻你的工作负荷。自八十年代末以来,EDI已经在一些政府机构得到了应用。他们的经验表明,极少数采购机构会被要求处理相同的求购工作。另外,EDI求购技术也已证明在寻求新的资源以加强竞争方面的优势,从而力求提高产品和服务质量,降低产品的价格。企业喜欢利用EDI来分析他们的采购交易统计、商品和服务的特征以及供应商的类型和数量,确定哪些采购拥有最大EDI能力,但并不是所有的采购都适合EDI。什么是EDI? EDI是得到双方同意的标准交易,实现常规业务文件 Advances in information and communications technology have resulted in improved documentation. For example, most contracting agencies now use personal computers and word processing software to prepare contract documents, letters, and supporting documents. Many organizations also use fax machines to speed up the exchange of purchase and supply information. Another automated tool called electronic data interchange (EDI) can now be used to reduce your workload. Since the end of the 1980s, EDI has been applied in some government agencies. Their experience shows that very few purchasing agencies will be required to handle the same purchase. In addition, EDI purchase technology has also proved its advantage in seeking new resources to strengthen competition, in order to improve the quality of products and services and reduce the price of products. Companies like to use EDI to analyze their purchase transaction statistics, the characteristics of goods and services, and the type and number of suppliers, and determine which purchases have the largest EDI capabilities, but not all purchases are suitable for EDI. What is EDI? EDI is a standard transaction that obtains mutual consent and realizes regular business documents
