Electronic data interchange (EDI) is an electronic communication method that provides standards for exchanging data via any electronic means.

By adhering to the same standard, two different companies or organizations, even in two different countries, can electronically exchange documents (such as purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and many others).

EDI has existed for more than 30 years, and there are many EDI standards (including X12, EDIFACT, ODETTE, etc), some of which address the needs of specific industries or regions.

It also refers specifically to a family of standards.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of core business processes, often in real-time and mediated by software and technology.
