The outsourcing of the EDI program is done via managed services by managing and implementing an EDI platform for a third-party provider. Outsourcing necessitates the organizations to access a wide range of abilities and capital investment of the hardware and software. Several companies are actively focusing on integrating EDI with their back-office systems, including an ERP system that helps achieve the demand for internal resources. Furthermore, the adoption of the managed services approach to EDI has become popular among organizations. The implementation of EDI outsourcing is more engaging than outsourcing across other areas of the IT industry. The significant aim of EDI outsourcing is to reduce the cost of investing in infrastructure by ensuring access to the right level of skills for delivering services to the customer.

EDI enhances business agility by allowing users to quickly enter new markets and boost business productivity by supplying further and advanced information related to performance, the supply chain, and the business partners. Therefore, the growing demand for EDI outsourcing services is expected to create an opportunity for the growth of the electronic data interchange (EDI) market.
