Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the secure electronic exchange of business documents such as invoices, fund transfer requests or purchase orders between trading partners.

EDI is a vital for efficient e-commerce between trading partners. It allows businesses to automate routine transactions and to guarantee transaction integrity.

There are several sector-specific EDI standards in use internationally. Initially, private networks were used to send and receive messages, but since the mid-1990s EDI over the Internet has been widely adopted and complexity and cost issues have been greatly reduced.
