Traditionally, in-house EDI management involves a dedicated team to maintain data mapping and translation software, creating a complex and costly process. Cloud-based Data Mapping offers an alternative to in-house EDI that eliminates these burdens and enables buying organizations to reduce manual data entry, errors, and costs associated with maintaining in-house operations.  With Edict Systems’ Cloud-based Data Mapping solution, our EDI experts handle the EDI data mapping and translation for you. Getting started with Cloud-based Data Mapping is easy as we provide a technical project manager to oversee your implementation from start to finish, including testing and production. In this blog, we’ll cover what Cloud-based Data Mapping is and how it can benefit your business. # **What is Cloud-based Data Mapping?** EDI streamlines business-to-business communication by converting business documents, like purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices, into standardized electronic formats, making it easy to share across different systems. Instead of burdening internal resources with mapping rules and multiple EDI formats, an [**EDI provider**](https://www.edictsystems.com/) like Edict Systems handles this process in the cloud. Our Cloud-based Data Mapping solution translates data into your required format, helping save time and money. ![CDM_Partners_Update](https://blog.edictsystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CDM_Partners_Update.png?width=760&height=275&name=CDM_Partners_Update.png) With Cloud-based Data Mapping, internal system data is mapped to your EDI specifications and delivered to your suppliers in a format that works best for them, ensuring accurate delivery. EDI data originating from your suppliers is then mapped, or translated, to your unique specifications for secure and direct integration with your system, no matter which file type your system uses. Cloud-based Data Mapping allows for data exchange to and from any EDI format or business, accounting, or ERP system, creating an efficient and reliable process, even if your integration requirements, systems, or transactions change. ## **Benefits of Cloud-based Data Mapping** Cloud-based Data Mapping significantly enhances your operational efficiency across departments by removing expensive onsite software and eliminating maintenance expenses that come along with it. Here’s what we do for your business: - **Map All Inbound and Outbound Transactions:** We map your inbound transaction data to your internal system specifications, regardless of data type, and map your outbound transactions to your trading partners’ specifications. - **Any Data—Any Integration:** Cloud-based Data Mapping supports a wide range of EDI documents and data formats.
