I have extensive experience working with ANSI X12 and EDIFACT standards, including mapping, translation, and validation of EDI documents. I’ve implemented and maintained EDI systems for various industries, ensuring compliance with trading partner requirements. My expertise includes creating and managing EDI mappings, troubleshooting transmission errors, and ensuring data integrity across systems. I’ve also worked with EDI translators like Gentran, Sterling B2B, and Cleo to streamline data exchange processes.

When EDI transaction errors occur, I first analyze the error logs to identify the root cause, such as syntax issues, missing data, or partner-specific requirements. I then collaborate with internal teams or trading partners to resolve the issue promptly. I use tools like EDI dashboards and monitoring systems to track errors in real-time and ensure minimal disruption to business processes. Additionally, I document recurring issues and implement preventive measures to reduce future errors.

I have hands-on experience with EDI mapping and translation tools such as IBM Sterling B2B Integrator, Cleo Clarify, and Boomi. I’ve created and maintained EDI maps to convert data between internal formats and EDI standards like ANSI X12 and EDIFACT. My role involved configuring translation rules, testing mappings, and ensuring seamless data flow between systems. I also optimized mappings to improve processing efficiency and reduce latency in data exchange.

I ensure data security by implementing encryption protocols like AS2 and SFTP for secure data transmission. I also enforce strict access controls and audit trails to monitor EDI activities. Compliance is maintained by adhering to industry standards such as HIPAA or GDPR, depending on the data type. Regular security audits and partner agreements are part of my process to ensure all EDI transactions meet regulatory and organizational requirements.

To onboard new trading partners, I start by understanding their EDI requirements and capabilities. I then configure the necessary EDI maps, communication protocols, and testing environments. I collaborate with the partner to conduct end-to-end testing, ensuring data accuracy and system compatibility. Documentation and training are provided to both internal teams and the partner to ensure smooth integration. Finally, I monitor the initial transactions closely to address any issues promptly.
