The coronavirus pandemic and the resulting shift to remote work exponentially accelerated the growth of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). At this point, there's no going back. Even once things begin to return to some semblance of normal, the technology isn't going anywhere — because COVID-19 is far from the only thing driving its growth.

Even prior to lockdown measures and remote work initiatives, EDI was increasingly replacing the exchange of physical documents. Even before it became crucial for safety purposes, businesses were leveraging it for greater accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability. There's a reason why, by 2026, the market is predicted to double from where it was in June 2020.
