E-RETAIL IS HUGE WITH EDI
At Loren Data we track the health of ECGrid in many ways. There are direct alerts for problem files, bad routings, etc. However, one of the things we do is trend monitoring. We have an expected characterization of the traffic through our system by time of day and day of week. This really helps us find outages and other problems.
So when we see something different, we investigate. Well, since Thanksgiving, the base level of EDI has gone up considerably, all hours of the day. What we found is that all those Cyber Sales are being backed up by EDI!
I can’t tell you where the economy is going, but I can tell you that this is a growth area for EDI and a sure sign that sales for on-line retailers is going to be very good this year.
You can check out the 72-hour traffic graph at https://ecgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ECGridTraffic.png. It is updated every 5 minutes.

Just today we have filed our appeal in the Fourth Circuit. Glenn Manishin is our lead counsel and has prepared a tremendous brief. More details to follow.
