問 27
- ア
正解 The EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) in ア is a mechanism in which companies exchange commercial transaction data such as ordering, billing, and shipping electronically, using a standardized format (data format) and communication procedures (protocol). The description in the question is exactly the definition of EDI, so ア is correct. Its distinctive feature is that it automates and streamlines data exchange between companies without relying on paper slips or fax.
Incorrectイ
EIP (Enterprise Information Portal) is a mechanism that provides a unified entry point (a portal screen) to the various information systems and data scattered inside a company, making it easier for employees to access the information they need. It is internal information integration, not the exchange of commercial transaction data between companies.
Incorrectウ
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a concept, together with the system that supports it, for integrated management of management resources such as people, goods, money, and information in order to improve the efficiency of a company's internal operations. Its scope is the company's own internal resource management, not a mechanism that standardizes formats and communication procedures to exchange information between companies.
Incorrectエ
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is a system that lets vehicles pass through toll gates on expressways and the like without stopping and automatically settles the toll via wireless communication. It has nothing to do with the standardization or exchange of commercial transaction data.
- Grasp the definition: EDI is a mechanism that standardizes the format (data format) and communication procedures (protocol) of commercial transaction data between companies and exchanges it electronically.
- Distinguish EDI from the easily confused three-letter acronyms EIP (in-house portal), ERP (in-house resource management), and ETC (automatic toll collection).
