Data elements are the fundamental building blocks of EDI documents. They represent individual information within a transaction set, such as city, state, country, item number, quantity, and price. Each data element is defined by its data type, which specifies whether it’s numeric, alphanumeric, a date, or a time. Additionally, the definition includes details like minimum and maximum length requirements and any applicable code values.

Implementing a modern, integrated data architecture can help you break down data silos, which cause C-suite decision-makers to lose 12 hours a week. Furthermore, more than 60% of organizations agree that data silos represent a significant business challenge. The solution is a data architecture that eliminates silos, and that’s where the data mesh vs. data fabric debate comes in. While both data architectures work to eliminate data silos, they differ in their approaches (more on that later).

Businesses handle massive amounts of data daily. To make informed decisions, this data must be optimized for accuracy and consistency, which requires effective data management. However, for best results, data management must be coupled with data governance, which provides essential frameworks to manage data quality and security. Data stewardship takes it a step further.

Twelve years ago, a Wakefield Research survey revealed that 1 in 3 Americans thought cloud computing was somehow related to the weather. Fast forward to today, 67% of enterprise infrastructure in the US is cloud-based. Given that 92% of enterprises already have a multi-cloud strategy in place or in the works, it’s evident that embracing cloud migration is no longer just an option but a strategic necessity.

These transactions are typically pursued to enhance competitive advantage, expand market share, or achieve operational efficiencies.
