Summary: FANTASTIC! Best book written on the subject....
Review: A to Z covers all aspects of EDI, I ever wanted to learn. With electonic commerce used so heavily in today's business, I can't imagine a company that wouldn't benefit from using this book. The chapters cover basic and advanced topics of EDI with just the right level of detail for both beginner and advanced users. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in doing business electronically.

Summary: Why is this book good?
Review: Covers everything about Electronic Data Interchange. It is well organized, showing incoming EDI data and out going EDI data. Each EDI Software step is explained using the Pyramid approach: Communications, Translation, Interface, and Application. The book looks small but the information inside is powerful. The Author is very knowledgeable in this subject.

Summary: Doesn't deliver
Review: I had high expectations for this book, but I don't really think I got what I paid for. I realize that the book is not a programmers reference book (and indeed I am not a programmer) but I really expected it to explain in more detail what the EDI standard(s) are all about. Instead of doing that, it runs through several sections of implimentation scenarios and legal issues ... all covered on an very basic and generic level, such as "remember to train the operators", "the server most be have enough processing power" and "make sure that the managers understand the benefits of the system". While all of this advice makes sense, it applies to virtually any system aquisation and implimentation. The word "XML" is not mentioned once in the entire book - so draw your own conclusions.

Summary: Highly Recommended!!!
Review: If you have trouble understanding what EDI is all about, then you need to read this book.

Summary: Comprehensive: a real A to Z
Review: This author writes from experience, not theory. It is obvious from some of the tips and techniques that are offered that Nahid has been there done that. I have attended many of her speaking engagements and she really knows her stuff. The book is a great guide for management and also offers some level of technical guidance for the techies. I highly recommnend it. I am going to buy her new book!!

Summary: Good overview for managers lacks tech. detail for technician
Review: This is a good book for middle management types deciding if they should do EDI. However, it lacks enough detail to help the systems analyst develop and deploy EDI applications.
Rating: 
Summary: Not technical enough for me
Review: When I read this book, I was hoping for some technical info on X.12 and EDIFACT. It's got some good coverage of management issues, but I would like to see more technical info.
