Electronic Data Interchange is a standard electronic format that replaces paper-based documents such as purchase orders or invoices. By automating paper-based transactions, organizations can save time and eliminate costly errors caused by manual processing. In EDI transactions, information moves directly from a computer application in one organization to a computer application in another. Data can be shared rapidly instead of over the hours, days or weeks required when using paper documents or other methods.
There are 5 key business benefits that EDI technology delivers:
– EDI technology saves time and money through automation of a process previously manually executed with paper documents.
– EDI solutions improve efficiency and productivity because more business documents are shared and processed in less time with greater accuracy.
– EDI data transfer reduces errors through rigid standardization, which helps to ensure information and data are correctly formatted before they enter business processes or applications.
– EDI integration improves traceability and reporting because electronic documents can be integrated with a range of IT systems to support data collection, visibility and analysis.
– EDI automation supports positive customer experiences by enabling efficient transaction execution and prompt, reliable product and service delivery.

Considering that we use technology all day long in our personal lives and at work, it makes sense that cybercrime is on everyone’s mind. A prominent data Breach Investigation Report reported a record total of 157,525 incidents in categories that ranged from malware to hacking, social engineering breaches to ransomware. And cybercrime continues to evolve. Some of the most successful attack vectors in recent times — like phishing — target people, not technology. According to the report, phishing was the top threat vector in 2019 and was involved in 32% of confirmed breaches, and 78% of cyber-espionage incidents.
The threat landscape is more complex than ever, and it’s increasingly difficult for security teams to prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to threats. Cybercriminals have shifted their tactics from technological attacks to targeted assaults on employees by exploiting basic human behaviors. As security technology has grown more advanced, hackers look to access the weakest point in the network — most often that turns out to be human error. Security training opportunities, like this badge, are more important than ever. Since employees present the easiest target for hackers, it’s crucial that everyone learns how to protect themselves, and your company. More than ever before, every person has an impact on security regardless of their function or title.
It takes only one employee opening a phishing email to set off a chain of events that may compromise your company’s data. This means that security should be an integrated part of everyone’s job. In this module, we look at some basic behaviors that every employee can adopt to help make the company more secure.
Intruders Exploit Human Behaviors
Let’s talk about how human nature plays into cybercrime. Criminals have learned they can exploit typical human feelings, such as curiosity and the desire to please, to steal credentials and infiltrate your network. Let’s dig into some of the messaging that elicits these emotions.
• Fear: “If you don’t give me the information, I will report you to your manager.”
• Trust: “Your bank account has just been closed. Click here to reactivate.”
• Morality: “Can you hold that office door open for me? My arm’s broken, and this package is heavy.”
• Reward: “My company is considering investing in your products. Can you answer a few questions about your organization first?”
• Conformity: “Bill Stevens from Finance always gives me updates about Q2 earnings, but I can’t get a hold of him. Can you help me with the report?”
• Curiosity: “Wow… Check out this video of a giant snake eating a zookeeper!”
Microsoft professionals have built an artificial intelligence system that can generate captions for images that are, in many cases, more accurate than the descriptions people write. Automatic image captioning helps all users access the important content in any image, from a photo returned as a search result to an image included in a presentation. A research breakthrough like this one can improve those results, but of course it does not mean the system will return perfect results each time. Image captioning is especially important for people who are blind or have low vision. For example, image captioning is used in capability in the Seeing AI talking camera app designed especially for blind/having low vision people. The app uses image captioning to describe photos, including those from social media apps.
The new model is available to customers via the Azure Cognitive Services Computer Vision offering, which is part of Azure AI, enabling developers to use this capability to improve accessibility in their own services. It also is being incorporated into Seeing AI and will be rolling out in Microsoft Word and Outlook, for Windows and Mac, and PowerPoint for Windows, Mac, and web.

Each release is designed to improve usability, performance and maximize the return on investment in OpenText technology. Here’s 10 reasons why organizations should upgrade Documentum now.
Here are the top 10 reasons to upgradeDocumentum:
1. Performance: Each Documentum release gives Users incremental performance improvements designed. That allow system to get more responsive and up to 30 % faster access to information—while putting less demand on IT resources.
2. Enhance trust and security: Enhanced enterprise security is a primary investment theme across the Documentum Platform. OpenText are constantly making security improvements throughout the platform to harden both on-premise and cloud deployments (e.g. by applying more security scanning and platform components, including Fortify, Qualsys, BURP, Blackduck and third-party cloud penetration testing).
3. Improve user experience: Improvements in each release, give users a more responsive system and include a host of new features that improve productivity. Now search results are more accurate through the integration of full-text search and embedded thumbnails. Users can also filter their results by category to find relevant content faster. Also more types of content are accessible via the introduction of format conversion for documents and video.
4. Reduce costs: One of the advantages of upgrading to the latest version of the Documentum platform is the ability to replace expensive Oracle databases with free opensource PostgreSQL and use low cost S3 storage. If moving to the cloud, you can replace expensive on-prem infrastructure with cheaper cloud alternatives. Customers on Documentum version 7.2 or earlier are currently paying extended maintenance charges to remain compliant. Upgrading will allow them to revert back to standard maintenance rates.
5. Extend capability: Latest versions allow you to extend the functionality and productivity of Documentum by connecting to other OpenText products. OpenText Core Share adds the capability to securely share and collaborate on content in Documentum with people outside the organization.

Administrators can control corporate content on BYOD mobiles and perform a remote wipe if a device is lost.
7. Connect Documentum with Microsoft® Office 365™: Users can continue to work in their preferred applications such as Microsoft Word and Outlook, but now with direct access to content in Documentum from the ribbon menu. Users can browse, open, and save documents to Documentum, making it easy to benefit from a company-wide system of record without having to open Documentum.
8. Simple updates: No more complex upgrade projects, just simple in-place updates that do not require re-installing, re-configuration, or manual re-customizing. Documentum updates are now provided as patches that preserve existing configurations and simplify deployment. Patches are released quarterly and take minutes to deploy.
9. Realizing Users cloud strategy: Containerization of Documentum technology allows organizations to align their Documentum deployments to their enterprise-wide cloud strategy, regardless of whether it is the OpenText Cloud, an on-premises platform, or a public cloud. Containerized technology can run alongside older implementations to enable a manageable cloud adoption path. It is easy to move Documentum containers between cloud providers.
10. Helping with transition: OpenText experts work with users to assess their current environment and provide recommendations for a successful upgrade in whichever cloud/on-premises model works for them. Users can count on OpenText to help with your upgrade and deployment process.
