EnergyEDI :: In-House Solution


Energy EDI In-house solution lets Service Providers (TSPs) and Service Requesters support EDI/EDM in-house.
EnergyEDI runs on windows platform. It works on Apache Webserver 2.2 with OpenSSL and on IIS.

Brief Description of the Process :

EnergyEDI receives incoming HTTP post requests from various trading partners. It parses and validates HTTP parameters set in the request based on NAESB 1.7 standards. EnergyEDI sends appropriate EDI errors back as part of the response. Encrypted EDI Documents are received as part of HTTP Post requests.
Encrypted EDI Document will be saved in designated IN directory. This document will then be decrypted using the private key and parsed. Data will be retrieved from X12 datasets and exported in various formats such as XLS, XML and CSV. This can be imported in the backend process such as EBB for further processing.
Responses generated from EBB will be translated back to X12 datasets, PGP encrypted using trading partner’s public key. Appropriate parameters will be set on http response and encrypted file will be transmitted back to trading partner.

EnergyEDI :: Custom Implementation


EDI is tough. Every pipeline is different. Based on some statistics about 70 percent of service providers present data in more or less standard format. Integrating with these service providers via EnergyEDI will not be a problem. The problem is with the remaining 30%. For each and every inconsistency we need to capture data and communicate it in an organized fashion. At EnergyEDI we take extra care in analyzing such discrepancies and implement a customized solution. We make sure that information between service providers and service requesters such as traders, marketers, buyers and sellers is transmitted in the form they need.
