With the ever increasing variability of EDI requirements and cost of employing technical resources, many companies rely on Northrop Grumman to provide EDI and supply chain expertise. By leveraging our existing EDI infrastructure and customized applications, our customers can greatly improve their communication mechanisms at a fraction of the cost of an in-house maintained system.

Web Portal

Northrop Grumman's Software-as-a-service (SaaS) design philosophy provides a real-time and transaction- driven system that takes advantage of the internet's flexibility and open communications. EDI Partnering gives our customers an easy-to-use and secure portal that is configured to their requirements and business needs. With the EDI capability, reports, and easily configurable screens, this web portal presents a low-cost, high-value interface for companies that want to make business connections without an extensive investment.

EDI Translation Service (EDITs)

This service provides our EDI partners the maximum flexibility to send and receive information. X12, XML, CSV, emails and positional files can be converted into any format, including EDI or system files. The EDI Gateway used by EDITs allows complex relationships to be defined into easily understood information.

IQ (Intelligent Queues)

IQ’s permit verification of the EDI content before loading EDI data into applications. The “Application Error Codes into the IQ” interface allows the integration of application errors back to the data level of the EDI. This allows business people to correct EDI data without the involvement of technical or EDI staff. IQ’s, the next phase of development, will help business systems to communicate with other business systems regardless of EDI protocol, communication method or application being used.

Data Warehouse

Having easy access to historical EDI data and business transactions is a must in this paperless world. EDI Partnering's Data Warehouse allows partners to keep EDI data and business data for extended periods. Customer service in this electronic age requires that partners archive information so it is available for reporting.

Reports

Beyond basic reports EDI Partnering allows users who choose the advanced reporting function to build customized reports. No longer are users strapped with canned system reports that never quite provide everything that is needed. Users can design the reports they always needed, but didn't have access to.

Supply Chain Consulting

Information Partnering™ enables companies to improve their overall profitability in the same way that outsourced manufacturing and distribution has done; it allows companies to focus on their core competencies - thus increasing overall performance and efficiency. The ability to quickly obtain and deploy this domain-specific supply chain expertise without developing and maintaining an entirely unique and complex competency in house is the leading reason why supply chain outsourcing is gaining popularity.
