Bob Raida of Foundational e-Business will speak at the NEECOM Fall Conference on Thursday, October 15 in Westborough, MA.

The session will explore alternatives to traditional EDI, focusing on one company’s implementation of “PDF to EDI” as a means to capture transactional data from trading partners that cannot support traditional EDI.  Discussion will include the business reasons for pursuing this project, the technical side including data capture and flow into the ERP system, and the results of the project.

Bob Raida is a veteran of the EDI, e-business and ERP industry with over 15 years of experience.  He was a co-founder at TrueCommerce and has been with Paragon / Foundational since 2013.
