Description

If you find that there are more exceptions than rules in your day-to-day business, this may be the episode for you. This week, Andrew welcomes Strategic Information Group’s Paul Kennedy to the podcast. Paul is a Senior Business Solutions Executive at SIG, and he joins us to talk about how SIG EDI eliminates human error from business equations. Rather than a Rube Goldberg machine of loosely connected systems, SIG EDI consolidates EDI tools for a smoother (and less costly) experience. Highlights from this deep dive include:

• Reactivity: SIG moves at the speed of business. Paul explains the framework that makes what we do possible.
• Rather than onboarding several systems, SIG EDI trains users on a subscription-like model, which lowers the difficulty barrier for new adopters.
• Paul shares some of the many, many tools that SIG brings to bear based off of their platform.
