    Modernizing EDI: Solving Data Integration for Mid-Sized Businesses (Episode 45)

    For many mid-market companies, EDI is the technology everyone depends on, but few people want to manage. In this episode of Unraveling IT: Expert Tech Talks, host Peter Rodenhauser sits down with Jordan Verhulst, Data Integration Engineer at Corsica Technologies, for a practical conversation about the evolving world of EDI, data integration, and modernization. Jordan shares what he has learned from more than 15 years in the field, starting with support for EDI environments and growing into complex integration work across a wide range of platforms and business needs. He explains why many companies still struggle with aging systems, custom maps, partner-specific requirements, limited visibility, and manual processes that turn routine changes into major projects. The conversation explores why mid-market organizations often fall into a difficult gap: they have real complexity and growing transaction volumes, but may not have the internal EDI teams, budgets, or enterprise-scale resources needed to manage everything effectively. That gap makes the right combination of technology, support, business context, and managed services increasingly important. Peter and Jordan also discuss how APIs, larger data volumes, and AI are changing the integration landscape. From validating outputs during migrations to spotting patterns in recurring errors, AI is beginning to create new efficiencies for EDI teams, even as the field is still early in its adoption. If your organization relies on EDI to keep orders, shipments, invoices, and partner relationships moving, this episode will help you understand what is changing, what still causes pain, and why visibility should be the first step in any modernization strategy.
