Select an EDI Method
You have two options regarding EDI connection methods:
1. Implement an in-house software direct-connect method. Select from one of two methods:
- Implement your own software solution to access Covisint Connect to directly connect to GM's systems.
If you use your own software solution for the Covisint Connect direct connection method, GM will pay for the EDI traffic between your company and GM.
- Implement a solution through a VAN (Value Added Network) provider.
If you use a VAN, you will be responsible for all charges.
2. Use a third-party service provider.
If you use a third-party service provider you will be responsible for all charges.
