Take a look at Biztalk server http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/

and www.biztalk.org.

Using XML in a publish/subscribe manner via message queues for business

document interchange looks very interesting in this problem space.

What exactly is EDI? I have heard of it, and one electronics

company in Alaska I worked for used it for incoming order from customers.

Only thing was that we hardly every got any orders over that line, so when

we did, sometimes it would sit for several days before getting acted upon.

Here at my company, we would like to be able to get PO's or Invoices

electronically, and I am wondering if EDI might be able to help us in this

regard. Is it still something that is in use?
